Lengua de Gato! (Cat's Tongue Cookies)
I don't know where this actually originated but every time my parents went out of town, they would always bring food as pasalubong. Lengua de Gato, also known as Cat's Tongue because of its shape and size, is one of my favorites because it just melts in your mouth and you simply won't notice that you've finished all of them in barely one sitting. It is a cookie resembling a cat's tongue, basically made of flour, butter, and egg whites.
