Ingredients
- Chocolate tuile batter (see recipe) White tuile batter (see recipe)
Directions
- 1. Make chocolate and white tuile batters according to following recipes.
- Heat oven to 400 . Trace a leaf onto a large, flexible, plastic lid, such as one from a coffee can. Using scissors, cut lip from lid. With a utility knife, cut out the leaf shape to make a stencil.
- 2. Place nonstick baking mat on top of a baking sheet, and place stencil on mat. Using a small offset spatula, spread a thin layer of chocolate batter over stencil; carefully lift up stencil. Repeat, making more leaves, spacing proportionately on baking mat. Transfer 1/2 c. white batter into a pastry bag fitted with an #2 tip. Pipe white veins onto chocolate leaves. Bake 4 min.
- 3. Using spatula, drape leaves over rolling pin to cold. Repeat process to make 50 cookies, reserving 1/2 c. of chocolate batter.
- 4. Repeat step with white batter, using reserved chocolate batter for piping.
- FALL LEAF COOKIES
- Traditionally, tuiles are thin, crisp almond cookies which are gently molded over a rolling pin or possibly arched form while they are still hot. Once set, their shape ressembles the curved French roofing tiles for that they're named. Create an autumnal variation on the classic French tuile cookie by shaping them with a leaf-shaped stencil. The basic tuile dough of sugar, nuts, Large eggs, flour, and butter can be enhanced by flavorings such as chocolate, vanilla, lemon or possibly orange. These delicate cookies are delicious served alone, or possibly along side a bowl of ice cream.
- To make leaf-shaped tuiles, Martha Stewart cuts stencils shaped like maple and oak leaves from the tops of plastic containers. She places the stencils on a baking sheet lined with a nonstick baking mat. She forms the cookies by spreading a thin layer of dough inside the open part of the stencil.
- After removing the stencil form, she decorates each leaf cookie by piping
- "veins" with a pastry bag filled with a contrasting dough before baking.
- Work quickly when removing the cookies from the oven because if you wait too long the cookies will harden on the baking sheet and will not be flexible sufficient to curve over the rolling pin. If this happens, you can return the baking sheet to the oven for a few seconds, and try again.
