Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C.
  2. Cream the butter, salt and sugar using electric mixer. Continue mixing for about 2 minutes or until light and fluffy.
  3. While mixing, gradually add the egg whites followed by vanilla extract. Mix for a minute at medium-low speed
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges start to turn golden.
  8. Remove from the oven and loosen cookies from the trays while still warm. When completely cool, pack them in airtight containers.
