Method
- Begin by dividing 2 eggs into egg yolks and egg whites. Only the egg whites will be used in this recipe.
- Whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks, creating meringue.
- In a separate bowl, combine 70 g of softened butter and 70 g of sugar. Use a rubber spatula to mix them thoroughly.
- After the butter and sugar are well combined, sift 70 g of cake flour into the mixture. Stir to fully incorporate the flour.
- Carefully fold the meringue into the butter-sugar-flour mixture. This can be done in 3 or 4 portions, ensuring you maintain the airy texture.
- Pipe or spoon the mixture into Langue de Chat shapes on an oven sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between them.
- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius and bake the cookies for 10 to 15 minutes. Keep a close eye on them and remove when they turn golden.
- In a heat-resistant container, combine 80 g of white chocolate, 40 g of heavy cream, and 3-4 drops of vanilla essence. Melt this mixture over a double boiler until smooth.
- Fill the Langue de Chat cookies with the white chocolate mixture, then refrigerate until the filling sets.
- Now your cookies are ready to be served!
