I actually made these cat’s tongue cookies last year, but the recipe was very different from this one. The previous recipe had quite a few flaws—not that it didn’t work—but the cookies weren’t dense or crispy enough. When baked, the dough spread out too much. That’s why I looked for another recipe, and this one is a tried-and-true recipe from my neighbor. Every Eid, she sells these cookies, and the results are amazing—they’re perfectly shaped and have the right texture.
Cat’s tongue cookies are one of the most popular cookies in Indonesia. These cookies are typically served during Eid as a treat in jars on the guest table to welcome visitors when Eid arrives. Well, this recipe will become my go-to cookie recipe, especially since my niece loves them so much.
Curious about the step-by-step preparation? Let’s take a look below!
2 egg whites
1 egg yolk
250 grams of butter
100 grams of chocolate chips
200 grams of powdered sugar
250 grams of all-purpose flour
Vanilla
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then set aside.
Combine the powdered sugar and margarine, then mix. Add the egg yolks and mix again until the mixture turns pale.
Gradually add the flour while mixing briefly with the mixer.
Add the chocolate chips and the previously whipped egg whites, then fold until evenly combined using a spatula.
Transfer the dough into a piping bag, then pipe the dough onto a baking sheet greased with margarine.
Bake in the oven at 170 degrees Celsius using top and bottom heat until fully cooked.
Ta-da!!! Just looking at the result is so adorable—I absolutely love the beautiful combination of the coconut flakes, and there’s a subtle chocolate touch in the cookie dough. Everything turned out so beautifully; I’m extremely satisfied with the result—everything is just perfect.
The flavor combination speaks for itself—there’s an unusual sweet, crispy texture to the cookies, in my opinion, and the simple touch of chocolate makes this dish extraordinary. I’ve successfully made this dish incredibly delicious; the difference in texture and flavor compared to the previous recipe is night and day. And most importantly, the preparation steps are vastly different, especially during ingredient prep and the process of beating the egg whites at the beginning.
