Almond Olive-Oil TuilesJonny Valiant

These wafer-thin cookies may have been created with Passover in mind, but their shattering crispness and perfume of almonds and lemon make them alluring at any time of year.

Cooks' notes:

•If cookies become to crisp to curl, return to oven to soften 1 minutes.
•Cookies can be made 2 days ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
