I wouldn’t call this a disaster, but it was maybe a mishap? I made a half recipe, and I think I scooped my dough a little on the large side, as I only got about about 12 tuiles. Which means, for this French Fridays with Dorie, I got ONE really perfect looking tuille. Oh, but it was really quite pretty! All the others had broken at one point, chipped, and even with two rebellious tuilles, reverted back to their somewhat flat shape.
I found that I needed to let mine sit on the hot cookie sheet for about two minutes, or trying to remove them, even with a metal spatula, was a mess of squished cookie unwilling to be put back together. Once on the rolling pin though, they seemed to set up (except for a couple that actually unfurled later on the plate). This one was a lot of work, and while good, I think I’ll just stick to some heartier chocolate chip cookies next time.
Oh yeah, and I obviously didn’t leave enough space between my dough balls when baking. They were easy enough to slice apart with the spatula, but it was pretty amusing when I took them out of the oven.

Yours came out beautifully!
Haha! Seems like we all have a little *something* to share this week ;0 I think the ones that worked look lovely! Well done!
Ha! All it takes is one for the money shot…and yours is picture perfect.
Ei: Thanks! Well, that one did! 😉
Mardi: Thank you! And I even went ahead and used parchment anyway…
Liz: Yes. Thankfully!
It looks to me like you have more than one perfect one. I’m sticking with chocolate chips next time too. These were way too hard.
Michelle your tuiles look nice. Some of the best I’ve seen. I agree with you, though. I’ll stick to heartier cookies! I like that you used parchment.
Great photographes of lovely cookies… you did a fantastic job.
I think they came out lovely! You should have seen my first batch! I had to scrape them off the cookie sheet!
At least you got some onto the rolling pin! Looking good!
This one did cause me to reconsider my baking prowess…
They still look good 🙂
They look better than mine did! (I just caught up on them last week, finally.)
