Time 26m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

7 tablespoons (3 1/2 ounces/100 g) unsalted butter
1 tablespoon/14 g vanilla powder
7 tablespoons/100 g icing sugar (confectioners' sugar)
4 egg whites
1 whole egg
3 1/2 ounces/100 g flour

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to about 350 degrees F.
  • In a mixing bowl, add the butter, vanilla powder, and icing sugar. Whip the mixture to a creamy and fluffy consistency. Slowly add the egg whites and the whole egg to the mixture and continue mixing until fully combined. Then slowly add the flour and mix well until fluffy and uniform in texture.
  • Place the mixture into a piping bag and squeeze out approximately 2 1/2-inch/6 cm long strips (about 2 1/2-inch/6 cm apart) onto a greased baking sheet. Strips will flatten and expand in the oven into the shape of a 'cat's tongue'. Bake for approximately 6 minutes, or until golden.

CAT'S-TONGUE COOKIES

These are very thin, crisp, fragile cookies that complement soft desserts such as sherbets, ice creams, and fruit compotes.

Yield makes 3 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, softened
1/3 cup sugar
2 egg whites, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup minus 1 tablespoon flour
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • Cream until light and fluffy: 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, softened, 1/3 cup sugar.
  • Beat in one at a time, mixing well after each addition: 2 egg whites, at room temperature.
  • Stir in: 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  • And then mix in until just incorporated: 1/2 cup minus 1 tablespoon flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Scoop the batter into a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or, even better, nonstick silicone sheets. Pipe 2-inch-long straight lines of batter 1 inch apart. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until golden brown, rotating the baking sheets halfway through for even baking. Gently remove the cookies while still warm by running a small off set spatula underneath each one. When cool, store in an airtight container.
  • Instead of piping the batter, use a spoon or off set spatula to spread the batter very thin in the shape of cats' tongues-or other shapes.

LANGUES-DE-CHAT COOKIES

Langues-de-chat -- "cat tongues" -- are classic French butter cookies.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes about 5 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

2/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sift together flour and salt in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Put butter into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Mix in sugar. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in vanilla. Fold in flour mixture.
  • Transfer batter to a pastry bag fitted with a 3/8-inch plain round tip (such as Ateco #804). Pipe 2-inch lengths, about 3/4 inch wide (the ends should be slightly wider than the center), onto baking sheets lined with parchment, spacing about 1 inch apart. (Batter should be refrigerated if not being used immediately.)
  • Bake until just golden around edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on sheets 3 minutes. Transfer to wire racks; let cool completely. Cookies can be stored in airtight containers up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature butter: This will help the cookies spread and bake more evenly.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown: The centers of the cookies should still be slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help them to keep their shape and texture.

Conclusion:

Cats' tongues cookies are a delicious and classic treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their crispy texture, delicate flavor, and beautiful shape, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet and easy-to-make cookie, give cats' tongues cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
