Introduction

Langues de chat - literally cat’s tongues - are French cookies, pretty easy to make and very crispy.

They are going well along with coffee or tea break.

Recipe from Les Yeux Grognons, to what I added some vanilla extract.

Preparation

1. Before starting, make sure the butter is softened and the egg whites are at room temperature.
2. Preheat oven to to 355 F (180 C).
3. In a medium bowl, with a spatula, combine softened butter with powder sugar.
4. Then, add the egg whites & vanilla extract. Mix pretty fast to get a smooth mixture.
5. Finally, sift the flour and add to the mixture. Mix again and transfer to a pastry bag.
6. Press dough onto baking sheet or mat, about 3 inches length, like a lady finger. Leave space between each one, as the cookies will spread during baking - if you don't have a pastry bag, you can use a freezer bag and cut one corner.
7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the the edges are lightly browned. Let cool on a cookie rack.
8. Store for several days in a metal box.
9. Bon appétit! 😋
