Ingredients
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams powdered sugar
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, cream the unsalted butter and powdered sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
Step 3
Add the egg whites to the butter mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
Sift the all-purpose flour and salt together, then gradually fold into the wet ingredients until well combined and smooth.
Step 5
Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip.
Step 6
Pipe 6cm (about 2.5 inches) lines of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each biscuit as they will spread while baking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes or until the edges of the biscuits are golden brown.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the langue de chat biscuits cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Store in an airtight container once completely cooled to maintain their crispness.
