Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour 

1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature 

2/3 cup confectioners' sugar 

4 large egg whites, at room temperature 

Preparation

Sift flour into a mixing bowl, and set aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium speed, until well-combined, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg whites, one at a time, beating for 4 minutes after each addition. Add the reserved flour, and mix until just combined.

Reserve 1/2 cup batter; place in a pastry bag fitted with a #2 tip, and set aside for piping chocolate tuile cookies.
