Time 23m

Yield About 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
1/3 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon of either vanilla extract or grated rind of lemon or orange or ground ginger
Pinch of salt
2 egg whites, at room temperature
1/3 cup of flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Butter and flour two baking sheets.
  • Beat the butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt until pale and fluffy. Beat the egg whites for 1 minute, until they mound slightly. Add the egg whites and mix just enough to blend. Add the flour through a sieve, shaking it over the batter and folding it in quickly.
  • Using a dinner knife, scoop up about 1 teaspoon batter and tap it onto the cookie sheet. Press the knife down onto the batter so you have a line 2 1/2 inches. Spread the batter on the sheet in this manner, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  • Bake for 4-5 minutes in the middle of the oven, until the cookies have browned slightly at the edges. Remove with a metal spatula and cool on a rack. If the cookies harden before you take them off the sheet, return them to the oven to warm them.
  • When the cookies have cooled, store them in an airtight container.

Overall, I thought these cookies were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

These cookies are a bit bland. I think I'll add some vanilla extract or almond extract next time.

I'm not a fan of the texture of these cookies. They're a bit too dry for my liking.

These cookies are too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I've tried this recipe a few times, and I've never been able to get the cookies to turn out right. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

These cookies are a great way to use up egg whites. They're also a delicious and festive treat for any occasion.

These cookies are a bit tricky to make, but they're worth the effort. They're so light and airy, and they have a wonderful flavor.

I've been baking for years, and these are the best langues de chat I've ever made. The recipe is easy to follow, and the cookies turn out perfect every time.
