How to Make Lenguas de Gato

Lenguas de Gato Recipe
Ingredients: Make 8 to 10 serving
½ cup butter, softened
½ cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 egg white
1 whole egg
1 cup all purpose flour, plus additional for dusting
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon vanilla, optional
Shortening for greasing cookie sheets

Procedures:

• Preheat oven to 325 degree F. In bowl of electric mixer, cram butter and sugar until light in color.
• Add egg white to mixture, followed by the whole egg, beating well after each addition. Fold in flour and salt on low speed until batter is smooth.
• With a pastry bursh, grease cookie sheets with shortening then dust them with flour. The flour will keep the butter from spreading. Or you may also use nonstick baking paper to line the cookie sheets.
• Prepare a pastry bag with a piping tip. Spoon batter into pastry bag.
• Press out thin strips of batter onto cookie sheet, about 3 inches long. Allow ample spaces between the strips of batter.
• Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Loosen the cookies from the sheets while still hot. Let cookies cool before packing into plastic jars. End.
