I bought this Cat tongue cookie stencil a long time ago, well, whenever I see new bakeware, baking tools, or accessories, I can't stop buying them even though I don't know when will I use them.
The beginning of this habit was when I started baking, it was not easy to find bakeware, baking tools, or accessories, so I always bought all of them from aboard (my suitcase was packed with baking pans and tools, haha). Anyway, some of them are still in their package as I don't have a chance to use ^^" because I have a new one that is made from better material.
Now I have a problem with my storage room, but it's hard for me to give all these things away as I think that it's not good enough. So all I have to do is find a new space to store it, haha
Let's talk about today's cookie.
I think many of you will think about 白い恋人 (Shiroi koibito) a famous souvenir from Hokkaido, yes, it's the same, thin cat tongue cookie with white chocolate ganache filling. But if you love to eat sweet souvenirs from Japan, you will know that there are many variations for this cookie, different flavors of cookie and filling, I really love the imagination of Japanese people ^^.
Because there are a lot of variations to choose from, I think it's good to start with this basic one (anyway, my heart said green tea, haha, but I keep it for next time).
The recipe is close to tuile or cigarette cookies but you can see that it has more flour. Make the meringue with the egg white before mixing it with the other ingredients adds stability and air to the batter too.
You may think that 38 sandwich cookies is a lot but the cookies are very thin, you will finish them real soon, hehe.
