Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Set the dry ingredients aside.
In a separate larger mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and vegetable oil. Whisk together until the mixture is well combined and the sugar begins to dissolve.
Add the vanilla extract and egg whites to the sugar and oil mixture. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix until a smooth batter forms, being careful not to overmix.
Transfer the batter into a piping bag fitted with a small round tip.
Pipe small 2-inch (5 cm) lines onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each line to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes or until the edges of the biscuits turn a light golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these crisp and delicate dairy-free Langue de Chat biscuits as a perfect accompaniment to your afternoon tea or coffee.
