Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup butter softened
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 egg whites
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup cake flour sifted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 160°C.
  • Cream the butter, salt and sugar using electric mixer. Continue mixing for about 2 minutes or until light and fluffy.
  • While mixing, gradually add the egg whites followed by vanilla extract. Mix for a minute at medium-low speed
  • Turn speed to low and gradually add the flour while continuously mixing. Continue to mix until the ingredients are well incorporated and the batter becomes smooth.
  • Get a piping bag with a star or round tip (#21) or just cut the tip of the bag to make a hole. Spoon the mixture into the piping bag.
  • On a baking tray lined with parchment paper or silicon mat, pipe round, thin strips of batter about 3-inches long per piece. Space them out about 2 inch apart so they have space to spread while baking.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges start to turn golden.
  • Remove from the oven and loosen cookies from the trays while still warm. When completely cool, pack them in airtight containers.
