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!
