Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets.
- In a medium bowl, cream together butter and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg whites one at a time until batter is light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla. Mix in the flour just until blended. Dough will be a little stiff.
- Using a cookie press or a pastry bag with a medium star tip, press dough onto prepared baking sheet into 3-inch lengths, like a ladyfinger.
- Bake cookies in preheated oven until straw-colored, about 10 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
- When cookies are cool, dip one end of each cookie in melted chocolate and place on wax paper until chocolate hardens. Store in a cool place.

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.

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.
