I love langue de chat cookies as they are always versatile and delicate.
In Indonesia we call these cat’s tongue cookies as lidah kucing, which is literally means cat’s tongue in English 😀
Not to brag, but I can always finish the whole jar by myself, in one sitting 😛 Hahahaha I know, am crazy 😛
Ingredients
- 200 gram of unsalted butter
- 50 gram of margarine
- 160 gram of icing sugar
- 1-2 tsp vanilla essence
- 100 ml room temperature pasteurized egg whites (from carton)
- 200 gram of flour
- 50 gram of cornstarch
- food coloring
Method
- Preheat oven to 300 F
- Beat butter, margarine, icing sugar and vanilla essence until fluffy and white
- Beat in egg whites to combine
- Turn down power to medium, beat in flour
- Divide batter as many colors as you’d like to make, in separate bowls, and mix in with food colors.
- Spoon each batter into separate piping bags
- Pipe rainbow batters onto greased pan (I piped two different ways, vertical and horizontal)
- Bake for 20-22 minutes
- Cool cookies on rack
- Store in glass containers
Don’t they look pretty, either way? 😀
I just love them too much!
