Cat’s tongue cookies – Langues de chat

by Camelia
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Cat’s tongues cookies (Langues de chat) are typical crunchy French cookies, although they first appeared in Austria where they were chocolate glazed. They are small, flat cookies, elongated with rounded ends and a crunchy dough.

They look sophisticated but are easy to make, with just a few ingredients and absolutely to everyone’s taste!

It’s one of the desserts we can make when we have some leftover egg whites from other cakes, soups or sauces.

Exact measuring the ingredients is very important for these cookies.

People with lactose intolerance can substitute the butter with baking margarine but margarine has a higher water content than butter, which can slightly change the texture of baked goods.
