How to Make Filipino Style Homemade Lengua de Gato (Butter Cookies)

Hello guys! Check out my recipe for my home made Lengua De Gato :) this dessert is influenced by the spanish and the name translates to "cat's tongue" characterized by their distinct oval shape. I made this using saladmaster electric skillet, but you can definitely use oven :) Anyways, here is my recipe.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2pcs egg white
1tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all purpose flour
Pinch of salt

Prodecure:
In a large mixing bowl, beat 1/2 cup butter until soft and creamy for 2-3minutes

Add 1/2 cup sugar and continue beating until light and fluffy

Add 1tsp vanilla extract and egg white until incorporated for 4-5 minutes

Switch mixer to low speed then gradually add 1 cup flour and pinch of salt until combined

Now were ready for cooking :)
Trasnfer the mixed dough to a piping bag,) or ziplock if you dont have piping bag.)

Press the bag and extract 3inches long cookies on your parchment paper, be careful not to make it thick because it will result to uneven cooking.

Then cook the cookies at 150° C for 10minutes. When the sides are brown and the middle are not very soft, you can then pick it up and set aside for cooling. The cookies will eventually become crunchy after cooling

Additional tip:
If you want to make flavored lengua de gato, just add 1/2 tsp ube flavoring

or 1/2tsp pandan flavoring and 1/2tsp green food color

Here are the batches for ube and pandan

Enjoy your dessert with coffee of hot chocolate at the side 😊

Hope you like my post. I know that this is not perfect because it's my first time baking this but I am open for more suggestions and improvements.
