This is Classic French Recipe for all the family to enjoy – Careful they are moreish (you have been warned).

Langues de chat or cat tongues are a type of French cookie. They aren’t much to look at but are a great on the go or lunchbox sweet that are crispy on the outside and soft and spongy in the middle.

They are soooo easy to make (notice the o’s … that’s how easy)

Ingredients
Equal parts of each – (in case you want to scale up or down)

Butter
Caster sugar
Self raising flour
1 Egg

 

Method

1. Pre-heat oven to 220 degrees
2. Beat together the sugar and butter
3. Beat in egg
4. Gently fold in flour

5. Allow the mixture to stand for a minute and go a bit “stodgy” (makes it easier to pipe)
6. Liberally grease a tray – I used greaseproof paper because I am lazy :p
7. Use a piping bag to make small “blobs” evenly spaced

*Note: Don’t worry if they aren’t perfect they will even out just make sure they are in small amounts because they expand*

Pop In the oven for 5-10 minutes until the edges are a golden colour

Place on a wire rack to cool

 

Voila!
