This cookie is a Dutch-influenced cookie due to the historical tie between Indonesia and the Netherlands.[2] In the Netherlands, this cookie is known as kattentong, and ultimately derived from European cat tongue biscuit.
In Indonesia, kue lidah kucing is widely known. This pastry is a special dish in some Indonesian occasion such as Eid ul-Fitr, Christmas and Chinese New Year.
