Rainbow Cat's Tongue



This is going to be a quick entry.. we are heading out to break fasting.. thought i'd upload this recipe so that our lovely ladies out there can try out this recipe.. I first saw this rainbow cat's tongue in a magazine in Jakarta.. bought it and had wanted to bake it since then.. i got home.. baked it and the cookies turned out horrible.. i dont know if its bec of the recipe.. or if it was bec of me.. shrug.. ever since then.. i didnt think abt it until i saw it at Ninong's site.. her recipe has never failed me.. decided to bake it this morning after i updated my blog lol.. am being productive today hahaha


Ingredients:
250g margarine - i used Buttercup
250g butter - i used SCS
350g caster sugar
500g flour
150ml egg white
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp lemon oil/extract
zest of one lemon

6 different food colourings - i used Wilton

Directions:
- whisk butter, margarine and sugar till creamy
- Add in egg white, lemon oil and also lemon zest and continue to mix
- Add in sifted flour/baking powder and continue to mix
- Divide batter into 6 parts - each abt 240g
- Colour each part according to ur preference.. place each part in piping bags
- Pipe each colour onto cat's tongue mould - pls refer to my FB if u want see how the mould looks like (I bought it in Jakarta).
- Bake it in a preheated oven of 150C for abt 20 mins - i used 140C and baked it for 15mins.. pls keep a look out on ur cookies as it will get brown easily
- Once baked.. let it sit for 5 mins bef placing it on a wire rack.. cool and keep it in an air tight container.


I dont know how it tastes like but the smell of lemon and also butter was so overwhelming that it attracted my daughter to the kitchen all the time :op... oh by the way.. shes been munching on it non stop.. krap krup krap krup hehee..

the colours are so pretty? Do you think it would work if I used a Madeleine tray kalau the one you used can't be found?

i dont think so since madelaine mould is too deep.. the cookies is crunchy and takut when u try to take it out .. dia akan pecah.. one of my reader just baked it.. she cetak pakai cookie cutter on her baking sheet and pipe batter on it.. it looks good too..

Hello Rima,
Selamat Berpuasa!
This cat's tongue must be crunchy in taste. With the rainbow colours, it must be a hit for the children. I will make this one day as I like crunchy cookies. Got to look for the mould first.
