Kitchen Experiment: Lengua de Gato ♥♥♥

Baking goodies is the latest hobby I enjoy doing during the weekends. My family, including my turning-1 old nephew, obliges to taste them heartily. (I hope!)

One my favorite things to bake is the Lengua de Gato (Thin Butter Cookie), which my nephew loves to munch using his first two front teeth. :)


LENGUA DE GATO

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1-1/8 cup flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp calamansi or lemon extract

Procedure:
1. Cream butter and sugar in a bowl. Continue mixing until smooth in texture.
2. Add the egg, vanilla extract and calamansi or lemon extract in the butter-sugar mixture.
3. Gradually add the flour in the mixture.
4. Preheat oven at 356F (180C).
5. Spoon or pipe the mixture in a greased pan. They must be spaced an inch apart.
6. Bake the cookies for 3-5 minutes or until their edges turn to light brown.


Lengua de Gato ready for munching! :)


That was so easy right? You can even bake them in your oven toasters at 5 minutes.

Why go up north when you can enjoy these delicious treats at the comfort of your home. Enjoy! :)
