Try this:
1. Make as little contact between the tongue and the reed as possible. i.e. play with the very tip of the tongue touching the very tip of the reed.
2. Touch the reed as lightly as possible to stop the vibration. Only the very slightest contact with the reed at this dynamic will be enough. It is not necessary to put any pressure on the reed other than lightly touching it.
Hope this helps?

The sound you want is made by double-tonguing ,but without touching the reed with the tongue.
good luck,
