1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a baking sheet with butter.

   Tip: Be careful not to burn the mixture.

3. 3

   Add the granulated sugar and beat until well combined.

4. 4

   Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the almond extract.

   Tip: Make sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

   Tip: Sift the dry ingredients to ensure they are well combined.

6. 6

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth.

   Tip: Don't overwork the dough.

   Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 3mm and cut into desired shapes.

   Tip: Use a sharp knife or cookie cutter to get clean edges.

9. 9

   Place the tuiles on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1cm of space between each cookie.

   Tip: Make sure they are not touching each other.

    Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

    Tip: Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.

    Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
