C – Tuiles? How do I pronounce that? Tule? Tuli?
It’s pronounced tweel?! What? The last “e” is silent? What? Gosh, this language. However you pronounce it, these cookies are great when you have to finish up the last of the egg whites. The last two egg whites. Yay! I think this is the first time I have ever finished all the egg whites.
I just impressed myself. I am proud of myself. I guess I should pat myself on the back. It’s only Thursday. What the heck I am I going to do tomorrow for egg white week?
I guess I will just have to use the whole egg tomorrow. Oh well. I didn’t waste any egg whites. I am so proud, I can’t get over it.
These cookies were really easy to make. Throw everything together, shape and throw it in the oven to bake. So easy.
They tasted good too. They aren’t sugar bombs. They have a great coconut taste and are really great with ice cream or a cream filling. When they come out of the oven, they are nice and crispy. After a few hours they are nice, soft cookies.
The cool thing about these cookies is that you can pop them back into the oven for just a few minutes on low heat, if you would like them to crisp up again.

These cookies were great to finish off the last of the egg white. They are easy and tasty. Win on all counts.
Now, I just have to remember how to pronounce these little suckers.
