Tuiles are better known, but the same cookies are popular in Sweden. You can make them without almonds, but unless you have allergies I don't know why you would. Great alone or with ice cream or fruit.

Yield makes about 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus butter for the cookie sheets
3/4 cup almonds, very finely chopped or ground in a food processor
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup flour, plus flour for the cookie sheets
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Melt the butter in a small heavy pan over medium-low heat. When it foams, add all the remaining ingredients and stir to blend. Let sit for a few minutes until the batter thickens a bit. Grease and flour one or more cookie sheets (unless they are nonstick-very useful here-in which case just rub with a tiny bit of butter).
  • Drop teaspoonfuls of the batter onto the sheets, allowing lots of room between cookies-these spread like mad. Figure about 6 cookies per sheet. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until lightly browned. Use the thinnest spatula you have to carefully remove the cookies from the baking sheet; drape the hot cookies around the handle of a broomstick propped between 2 chairs or set up a similar arrangement (you can also use a rolling pin or other cylinder). Cool, then eat within a day.
