Christmas Cookie Exchange: Gallettes

karenringalls

Gallettes are French cookies made with a waffle iron. My mother-in-law would make them for us every Christmas. She passed this recipe down to me for which I am very grateful. I make the Gallettes every Christmas season and I have passed the recipe down to my sons and grandchildren.

The tradition continues!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 lb. unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 6 large eggs, separated
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

Recipe:

  • Step 1: Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • Step 2: Separate egg yolks and beat slightly; lightly add vanilla and almond extracts with a fork.
  • Step 3: Gradually add egg yolk mixture to the creamed sugars until incorporated.
  • Step 4: Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Step 5: Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; fold into dough
  • Step 6: Beat butter at medium speed until smothered and creamy. Beat in both sugars until well combined, light, and fluffy.
  • Step 7: Drop batter by 1-2 teaspoons onto a preheated waffle griddle and bake until lightly brown. Carefully remove with 2 forks to cool on a rack.
  • Serve and enjoy!

  9. My mother loved these cookies. I only made them one time, and it was for her on the last Christmas we spent together. I’ll always think of her when I see these. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Karen. They’re delicious, and they certainly have a sentimental component (for me).
