Kue lidah kucing

Okay, kiddo, imagine a yummy treat that looks like little tongues of a kitty cat. That's what we call kue lidah kucing in Indonesia. It's a special type of cookie that is shaped like thin and long strips, just like a kitty cat's tongue.

But how do we make it? Well, we start by mixing some flour, sugar, butter, and eggs. Then, we add a little bit of vanilla or pandan flavoring for a tasty smell and green color. We take the dough and shape it into small tubes that are thinner than a pencil.

Now comes the fun part! We use a special tool that has a small cylinder with a star-shaped hole at the end. We push the dough through the cylinder and squeeze it out in a zigzag pattern onto a baking tray. This is where we get the unique shape of the kue lidah kucing.

After that, we put the tray into the oven and bake the cookies until they turn a golden brown color. Once they cool down, we can enjoy these sweet treats as a snack or a dessert.

So there you have it, dear! Kue lidah kucing is a yummy cookie that looks like a kitty cat's tongue and is made with a special tool and tasty flavors. Yum!
