Thursday night was my law office’s Christmas party. So, due to my poor planning, I wasn’t able to make these almond orange tuiles until this morning. (I was able to pull it together enough to prepare the dough Friday night for its overnight rest though!) I only had sliced almonds on hand, so I chopped those up, thinking a few skins wouldn’t destroy the look or taste of the tuiles. These tangy little cookies baked up quite easily. However, I started lining my cookie sheets with parchment paper after the first batch in order to help remove the tuiles easier. Dorie must have a magic spatula or something to make these without parchment paper! The addition of a few tablespoons of orange juice really gave these tuiles a citrus-y kick which I liked. Definitely a keeper!
These almond orange tuiles were made for French Fridays with Dorie, a group of bloggers who are cooking their way through Dorie Greenspan’s Around My French Table: More Than 300 Recipes from My Home to Yours.

Anytime you referred to tuiles, describing them as “easily” and “easier” and seemingly having no problems, I just have to think you were still drinking when you made these!!! Your tuiles are beautiful but all the rest of us, excluding Diane, had a heck of a time baking them. So, cudos to you. I do think and Kathy verified also, that parchment paper was a big helper. I wish I wasn’t so reticent about NOT following Dorie’s directions to the letter.

These look great!!!
Dec 07, 2013 @ 14:28:19
I haven’t been to an office Christmas party in years. I love the look of these tuiles and the orange flavour must be lovely xx
Dec 07, 2013 @ 15:15:47
I just mixed mine up too and am going to attempt them tomorrow – parchment paper for the win!
Dec 07, 2013 @ 16:05:13
How cool!
Dec 07, 2013 @ 16:07:04
Those look really cool!
Dec 07, 2013 @ 16:33:50
I like to make tuiles on a silpat, so easy to remove. They look amazing! I’m SO behind with recipes and the blog in general. These would make a great gift.
Dec 07, 2013 @ 17:10:32
There beautiful, love tuiles!
Dec 07, 2013 @ 17:18:15
Love these citrusy tuiles!
Dec 07, 2013 @ 17:22:01
Simply beautiful! Glad you got these done! They were so good! I agree, I don’t know how Dorie made these without something to line the pan…I lost two trays before I pulled out the parchment paper!
Dec 07, 2013 @ 17:40:18
After my first pan, i used parchment, too. Yours are simply beautiful. Wonderful lacey look.
Dec 07, 2013 @ 17:50:19
These look perfect, next time I am going for the parchment paper too. Mine
were a disaster.
Dec 07, 2013 @ 20:11:23
I’ve always wanted to do an orange flavor tuile. Love ’em.
Dec 07, 2013 @ 20:17:34
When I saw the photo, I thought they were French fries. What do I know? Almond orange tuiles! The name alone gives me watery mouth. 😛
Dec 07, 2013 @ 20:29:12
These look tasty! Parchment paper is stocked at my house!
Dec 07, 2013 @ 21:05:21
Beautiful job. They look delicious:)
Dec 07, 2013 @ 21:30:25
the words easy and tuiles are never adjacent in my kitchen. I must give them a try with baking paper. These look terrific.
Dec 07, 2013 @ 21:36:54
Yum! I’d like to have some now 😀
Dec 08, 2013 @ 00:14:16
I so want to try my hand at these!
Dec 08, 2013 @ 07:18:01
I think Dorie and I must have been baking these on the same (French) baking trays. Am sure if I made these on my regular (Canadian) trays I would have had trouble sans parchment. Yours look great!
Dec 08, 2013 @ 08:26:27
Lovely results you got there! I do think that the skins add character to the cookies!
Dec 08, 2013 @ 09:14:04
I’ve always wanted to make Tuiles, Yummy. Yours look so delicately delicious. Thanks for the tip about the parchment paper. I would definitely need it:) Thanks for sharing…
Dec 08, 2013 @ 09:36:18
These are so elegant looking. I agree with the comment on the skins adding character–kind of like the hand-distressed furniture you pay more for.
Dec 08, 2013 @ 13:00:25
I love these almond cookies with a twist, they look delightful!
Dec 08, 2013 @ 15:23:35
They turned out perfectly! You clearly have the knack.
Dec 08, 2013 @ 16:43:44
So pretty and lacy and elegant~
Dec 08, 2013 @ 16:48:32
Amazing…absolutely beautiful!
❤
Dec 08, 2013 @ 17:16:54
I didn’t have much luck getting many of them off the pan, though the crumbs tasted good. Sounds like parchment paper is the secret.
Dec 08, 2013 @ 17:53:47
Those look delicious. I bet they were a hit.

So perfect for the holidays with their lacy looks and citrus flavor. Definitely a cookie to impress.
Dec 08, 2013 @ 19:07:55
Love the crispy look!
Dec 08, 2013 @ 23:20:43
i’m not really familiar with this type of cookie and it’s so intriguing to me. It appears to be lacy and very pretty! I love the idea of the citrus. My guess is Dorie uses the parchment and was just fooling with you! 🙂
Dec 09, 2013 @ 02:54:36
They look great! I tackled a similar recipe a little while ago and found that rather tricky but really enjoyed them too!
Dec 09, 2013 @ 03:29:03
They sound great I’ve never made tuiles with orange juice
Dec 09, 2013 @ 05:49:32
These look SOOO tasty on such a cold, snowy day! All I need are a plate full of these, my Snuggie, a cup of tea and my fav TV show! YUM YUM YUM!!!
Dec 09, 2013 @ 05:56:29
This seems perfect for tea time!
xoxo
Dec 09, 2013 @ 08:38:40
You can come by my office with those babies any time!
Dec 09, 2013 @ 08:43:52
These look wonderful !!
Dec 09, 2013 @ 11:59:34

I love the orange flavor!!! Love it!
Dec 09, 2013 @ 15:00:22
Looking good! And I admire you for using what you had on hand (sliced) — I actually like the skins in these, but I do lean towards “rustic” in my baking. 🙂 Ya, I used my Silpat liner out of habit — would not want to even try w/o that or parchment.
Dec 09, 2013 @ 17:32:12
wow! I’ve never heard of tuiles before- what a fun idea!
Dec 09, 2013 @ 18:21:37
Beautiful job, they look delicious. I agree with Paula and Amy about Silpats…I use them for all my cookie baking.
Dec 09, 2013 @ 19:52:52
that looks really good
Dec 09, 2013 @ 21:09:09
Wow – these are goreous!
Dec 09, 2013 @ 22:41:45
Hope you had fun at the party! These look so pretty!
Dec 10, 2013 @ 08:58:41
They look pretty 🙂
Dec 10, 2013 @ 09:04:08
Your tuiles look perfect! I can’t believe you are calling them easy and a keeper I called them little sh–s! Kudos!
Dec 10, 2013 @ 10:19:41
So pretty!!
Dec 10, 2013 @ 17:23:28
Bet they were gone in no time at the office party.
Dec 10, 2013 @ 21:29:42
Ha – magic spatula! She must have had a magic cookie sheet too.
Good call on the parchment.
Dec 10, 2013 @ 21:32:55
i have never heard of these before but I love the orange and almond flavor with it
Dec 11, 2013 @ 07:22:13
