Yield Makes about 5 dozen 3-inch cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 pound unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus more for cookie sheet
1/2 cup superfine sugar
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Zest of 1 lemon, grated
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon corn syrup
1 cup chopped pistachios

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly butter a heavy cookie sheet. In bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter. Add the sugar, and continue to beat until creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Sift the flour three times with the salt. Beat egg whites into the butter, one at a time. Add the vanilla. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add flour mixture gradually, scraping down the sides. Stir in the lemon zest.
  • Transfer the batter to a large pastry bag fitted with a #2B tip and a large-size coupler. Pipe out cookies in an S shape, about 3 inches long. Repeat S pattern in reverse.
  • Bake until the edges are golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack. Cookies will become crisp as they cool.
  • Combine the chocolate and corn syrup in a double boiler over simmering water; stir occasionally with a rubber spatula until smooth. Using a small offset spatula or knife, spread cookie with chocolate, and top with another cookie to form a sandwich. Dip about 1 inch of each cooled cookie into chocolate, and roll to coat with pistachios; let dry.

I've tried a lot of different langue de chat recipes, and this one is by far the best. The cookies are always light and airy, and they have the perfect amount of sweetness.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few egg whites left over after making macarons, and these cookies are the perfect way to use them up.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my liking. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

I had trouble getting the cookies to spread out properly. They ended up being more like little balls than cookies.
