Tejas De Tolosa

  So here is the first post of my blog dedicated to Braulia (my grandmother's cook).
Her love and passion for cooking and food itself was so immense she transmitted it to my mother, and so on my mother taught both my sister and I that love for the culinary world.

 Las Tejas de Tolosa (Tiles of Tolosa) are a traditional cookie from the north of Spain, to be more exact from the town of Tolosa in the province of Guipuzcoa (Basque Country). The name tejas is due to their resemblance to roof tiles.

They are very similar to a butter or sugar cookie, but with toasted almonds. Whenever travelling around the basque country you will find them in every bakery shop, or served after lunch as a "petit four" to have with coffee or tea.

So in honour of our beloved Braulia, my mother and I baked some delicious and crispy Tejas. Scroll down for the recipe!
