Madeleine Cookies Recipe

Madeleine Cookies Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Baking Pan

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a madeleine pan with butter or non-stick spray.

2. 2

   Melt the Butter

   In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

3. 3

   Mix Sugar and Eggs

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until the mixture is pale and fluffy.

4. 4

   Add Vanilla and Butter

   Stir in the vanilla extract and the melted butter into the egg mixture, mixing well.

5. 5

   Combine Dry Ingredients

   In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

6. 6

   Combine Mixtures

   Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

7. 7

   Fill the Pan

   Spoon the batter into the prepared madeleine pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.

8. 8

   Bake

   Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

9. 9

   Cool and Serve

   Remove the madeleines from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
