Lengua de Gato
Lengua de Gato are classic Filipino butter cookies known for their thin, crisp texture and delicate golden edges. The batter is piped into slender strips and baked until just set, giving each piece a light crunch that melts on the tongue. These cookies are a staple at holiday gatherings and make an excellent homemade gift.
