Cookies "Cat tongues" - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use margarine instead of butter in the Cat Tongues Cookies?

While butter provides the best flavor and texture, you can substitute with margarine if needed. However, the cookies may spread more during baking and have a slightly different taste. Use a high-quality margarine for best results.

How long will these cookies last, and how should I store them?

Cat Tongues Cookies will stay fresh for about 3-5 days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. To maintain their crispness, avoid storing them in humid conditions.

Can I freeze the Cat Tongues Cookies dough or baked cookies?

Yes, you can freeze both! For the dough, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before using. Baked cookies can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.

What can I substitute for vanilla seeds if I don't have any?

If you don't have vanilla seeds, you can use 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract instead. Add it along with the flour in Step 3.

Can these cookies be made gluten-free?

Yes, you can make these cookies gluten-free by substituting the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Be sure to choose a blend that contains xanthan gum for the best texture.

What kind of chocolate is best for dipping the cookies?

The recipe suggests chocolate with at least 72% cocoa butter, which melts smoothly and sets with a nice shine. However, you can use your favorite dark, milk, or white chocolate, adjusting the melting time accordingly.
