Coconut Tuiles

These delicate Coconut Tuiles are a masterclass in crispy, chewy, and utterly addictive treats.

With a delicate balance of sweet and savory, these French-inspired cookies are made with tender love and care, perfect for snacking or as a delightful accompaniment to your favorite tea or coffee.

Ingredients

• 1 cup (200g) confectioners’ sugar
• 1/2 cup (120g) unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup (60g) unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg white
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of cream of tartar

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, salt, and coconut until well combined.

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the softened butter and egg white until smooth and creamy.

Add the vanilla extract, cream of tartar, and whisk until fully incorporated. Gradually pour the sugar mixture into the butter mixture and whisk until smooth and free of lumps.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight to allow the mixture to firm up.

Scoop out small balls of the mixture, about 1 tablespoon each, onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each tuile. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

Remove from the oven and allow the tuiles to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Store the tuiles in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Notes

To ensure the coconut tuiles hold their shape, make sure to chill the mixture for at least 30 minutes or overnight.

Use high-quality unsweetened shredded coconut for the best flavor and texture.

For a delicate, crispy texture, don’t overmix the sugar mixture with the butter mixture.

To get the perfect golden brown edges, keep an eye on the tuiles during the last 2-3 minutes of baking time.

These tuiles are perfect for decorating cakes, cupcakes, or serving as a crunchy snack on their own.

For longer storage, freeze the tuiles for up to a month and thaw at room temperature when needed.
