Although they are not named for Katzenzungen Castle in Prissian, these cookies are just as noble.
Ingredients
6 servings
125 g butter with the South Tyrolean seal of quality
100 g powdered sugar
10 g vanilla sugar or ½ vanilla bean (pulp)
1 pinch salt
1 egg with the South Tyrolean seal of quality
1 egg yolk with the South Tyrolean seal of quality
150 g flour
150 g chocolate nougat for filling and dipping
Preparation
Time to prepare: 30 min.
Prep Work
Line baking tray with baking paper.
Dough
Cream the softened butter together with icing sugar, vanilla sugar or vanilla pulp, and salt.
Add in the egg and egg yolks, one by one; add flour last.
Pour the mixture into a piping bag with plain tip; pipe bars of dough about 6 cm in length onto the baking sheet.
Allow sufficient space between the bars since the dough will expand some.
In a preheated oven, bake biscuits until golden.
Let cool slightly.
Assembly
Put the chocolate nougat into a bowl and melt in a water bath.
Coat the underside of half of the batch of biscuits with chocolate nougat. Attach another biscuit to the underside of each dipped biscuit. Dip half of the two now-attached biscuits into the nougat chocolate.
Let nougat filling solidify.
Baking temperature: 180 degrees Celsius Cooking time: about 10 minutes
Instead of chocolate nougat, you can also fill with apricot or orange marmalade.
