Langues de chat (cat's tongues cookies): easy cookies to get rid of egg whites

Whenever I make a lot of ice cream, I will get into problem, >*<. Not a big one but it's annoying for me, the problem is I have too many egg whites -*-. I try to make macaron or butter cream but it's still there, so I have to find other way to use it.

Then I remember, there are some of the cookies that use egg whites for their crisp character, like tulie or langues de chat. I make the tulies many time so this time let make something new (haha, for my blog).

Langues de chat is easier to make than the tulies, just pipe the mixture and it will spread into thin cookies in the oven.

So, let's change the problem into something delicious. It'll be a good way to get rid of the egg whites in your fridge too.
