About Lengua de gato

Lengua De Gato, translating to "cat's tongue" in Spanish, is a delicate, buttery cookie originating from European baking traditions, popularized in Filipino cuisine. Characterized by its narrow, elongated shape and crisp texture, this sweet treat is crafted with simple ingredients like all-purpose flour, sugar, butter, and egg whites. While its thin and light profile makes it a delightful companion to coffee or tea, it remains a calorie-dense confection due to its high butter and sugar content. On the nutritional side, the cookies offer a modest amount of energy and are low in fiber or protein, providing quick bursts of energy but limited sustained nourishment. As a dessert, moderation is encouraged to balance its indulgence against daily dietary needs. Lengua De Gato exemplifies culinary simplicity and sophistication, making it a cherished snack across different cuisines and cultures.
