Ox tongue cookies, named for their long, flat shape resembling a cow’s tongue, are a beloved treat with a crisp, buttery texture. Here’s a simple yet comprehensive guide to making them at home.
Ingredients: You’ll need 250g all-purpose flour, 100g unsalted butter (softened), 80g powdered sugar, 1 egg yolk, and a pinch of salt. For a richer flavor, add 1 tsp vanilla extract.
Steps:
1. Prepare the dough: In a bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar until creamy. Mix in the egg yolk and vanilla (if using). Gradually add the flour and salt, kneading into a smooth dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
2. Shape the cookies: Roll the dough into a 1cm-thick sheet. Cut into 8x3cm rectangles (or use a knife to trim into tongue-like shapes). For a traditional touch, score the surface with a fork.
3. Bake: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Arrange cookies on a baking lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden at the edges. Cool on a wire rack.
Variations: Add cocoa powder for chocolate cookies, or replace 2 tbsp flour with matcha powder for a green tea twist. Serve with tea or coffee for a perfect snack.
