“Pauley Walnuts”- Walnut Tuiles (Butter Wafers)
This past weekend, I spent two glorious days in Sacramento, celebrating the Walnut Harvest. I have tons of great pictures, recipes and fun walnut related facts to share with all of you!
Since I’ve been on such a walnut kick, I figured I’d share some amazing walnut themed recipes. This wafer cookie recipe is ridiculously simple, delish and fun! Fun? Yes! It’s fun, because you can create fun and abstract shapes with the cookie batter!
What You Need:
1 Cup Walnut Flour (1/3 Cup Ground Walnuts, 2/3 Cup AP Flour)
1 Cup Butter (melted)
1 Cup Egg Whites
1/2 Cup Sugar
Melted Chocolate (optional)
Powdered Sugar (for dusting)
Heat oven to 275 degrees.
1. In a medium bowl, combine all of the ingredients except for the chocolate. Mix until there are no lumps and all of the ingredients are well combined.
2. Next, place a silpat onto a baking sheet (or just us PAM to grease your baking sheet). Use an offset spatula to spread your batter into a thin layer, then bake for 15 minutes. Experiment with designs. Here’s a cool suggestion: spread the batter into a long rectangular shape. Bake for 15 minutes then carefully remove the shape from the baking sheet. Immediately drape the baked cookie over a wine bottle (that is on its side) so that it molds to the shape of the wine bottle.
3. You have to work fast so that the cookie doesn’t cool before you’re done shaping it. Then, melt a chocolate of your choice and dip your cookies into the chocolate. Allow to cool (if you can wait that long) then enjoy!! Dust with powdered sugar.
