Langues de chat (Crispy Vanilla Cookies)
Langues de chat are French cookies that resemble the tongue of a cat. Hence the name “langues de chat”, which means “cat tongues” in French. These cookies are flat and crispy, with a light vanilla flavor. They go extremely well with coffee or tea. And they are very easy to make! In only 10 minutes, you will have delicious cookies to enjoy with your coffee!
Recipe
My recipe was inspired by this French recipe (note: my recipe is slightly different).
It is helpful (but not mandatory) to have a dessert decorator or decorating kit for this recipe.
