Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
- Cream butter cubes for about 1 minute in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and the color has turned pale yellow. Add sugar and vanilla extract; continue the creaming process until the mixture is smooth. Beat in the egg whites, 1 at a time, on low speed until batter is light and fluffy. Mix in flour until just combined--do not overmix!
- Transfer batter into a pastry bag with a medium plain tip and pipe dough in 2-inch "tongues" onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cat tongues turn golden brown on the edges, about 10 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sift together flour and salt in a small bowl; set aside.
- Put butter into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Mix in sugar. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in vanilla. Fold in flour mixture.
- Transfer batter to a pastry bag fitted with a 3/8-inch plain round tip (such as Ateco #804). Pipe 2-inch lengths, about 3/4 inch wide (the ends should be slightly wider than the center), onto baking sheets lined with parchment, spacing about 1 inch apart. (Batter should be refrigerated if not being used immediately.)
- Bake until just golden around edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on sheets 3 minutes. Transfer to wire racks; let cool completely. Cookies can be stored in airtight containers up to 3 days.
