In Cookies Unlimited, part of the drop cookie chapter is an entire section entitled, Tuiles. I had never heard of this type of cookie before and as I read the instructions and warnings in the Tuiles section (there are no less than 5 warnings), I got apprehensive. Luckily I had my friend, Ellen, staying with us overnight and she said that she'd help. Nick Malgieri explains that tuile is the French word for the curved roof tiles common in the Riviera (and other Southern climes). The cookies are thin, wafer cookies that are curved. The way this is accomplished is very simple. When the cookies come out of the oven you take them off of the cookie sheet and put them on a curved surface, like a rolling pin, to cool et voila, curved cookies.
I could have done a better job with these. They were a bit chewy when they should have been extremely crisp. Since there are more recipes in the section, I will do better next time.
