About Langue de chat

Langue de chat, a delicate French cookie, translates to "cat’s tongue" due to its long, thin, and slightly curved shape. Made primarily from butter, sugar, egg whites, and flour, these cookies are light and crisp, ideal for pairing with tea, coffee, or desserts like ice cream. Originating in French patisseries, the cookie has since gained popularity worldwide for its simplicity and elegance. While langue de chat provides energy from carbohydrates and fat, its nutritional profile isn’t particularly health-focused. High in sugar and butter, these cookies should be enjoyed in moderation, especially by those managing calorie intake or avoiding saturated fats. However, their light texture allows for smaller portions, which can help with mindful eating. Rich in flavor yet modest in portion size, langue de chat is more about indulgence and cultural experience than health benefits.
