Steps:
- Preheat the oven to about 350 degrees F.
- In a mixing bowl, add the butter, vanilla powder, and icing sugar. Whip the mixture to a creamy and fluffy consistency. Slowly add the egg whites and the whole egg to the mixture and continue mixing until fully combined. Then slowly add the flour and mix well until fluffy and uniform in texture.
- Place the mixture into a piping bag and squeeze out approximately 2 1/2-inch/6 cm long strips (about 2 1/2-inch/6 cm apart) onto a greased baking sheet. Strips will flatten and expand in the oven into the shape of a 'cat's tongue'. Bake for approximately 6 minutes, or until golden.

Yield makes 3 dozen cookies
Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Cream until light and fluffy: 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, softened, 1/3 cup sugar.
- Beat in one at a time, mixing well after each addition: 2 egg whites, at room temperature.
- Stir in: 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- And then mix in until just incorporated: 1/2 cup minus 1 tablespoon flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Scoop the batter into a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or, even better, nonstick silicone sheets. Pipe 2-inch-long straight lines of batter 1 inch apart. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until golden brown, rotating the baking sheets halfway through for even baking. Gently remove the cookies while still warm by running a small off set spatula underneath each one. When cool, store in an airtight container.
- Instead of piping the batter, use a spoon or off set spatula to spread the batter very thin in the shape of cats' tongues-or other shapes.
LANGUE DE CHAT (CAT'S TONGUE)
Ever tasted a light brittle biscuit sandwiched with either white chocolate or milk chocolate? Yes, these biscuits are known as the Langue De Chat that was possibly date to the 17th Century where at that period was the time where refined white sugar and piping bags were popular with the wealthy classes of Northern Europe. In Europe, they are sometimes known as "cat's tongue" as it is usually baked long and flat with rounded ends. These biscuits are crisp and brittle as the key ingredients includes cornflour and mainly of egg whites rather than whole egg. Because of the dry nature and ingredients used, these biscuits can be kept for quite a long time and are usually served with certain liqueurs and sparkling wines. This recipe here follows closely to the famous Pepperidge Farm's Milano Cookies. It is easy and tastes as good. Enjoy!
