Madeleine Cookies
Description
The Madeleine Cookies recipe begins with beating four eggs and one cup of sugar until a smooth, even mixture forms, followed by incorporating vanilla extract and salt. The flour is then blended in small amounts to maintain the batter’s lightness. Melted unsalted butter is added gradually with gentle mixing to avoid overbeating and to preserve the sponge-like texture.
The batter is spooned into each mold cup of a madeleine pan without spreading as it naturally spreads and shapes during baking. The cookies bake at 375°F for 10-15 minutes, developing a golden-brown exterior with a soft crumb inside. Once slightly cooled, they are removed from the pan to complete cooling.
These cookies have a tender, airy texture characteristic of classic madeleines, alongside a gentle vanilla aroma. Their size and shape make them ideal for serving with tea or coffee as a refined treat.
Ingredients
- 4 egg
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups flour
- 1 1/4 cup butter melted, unsalted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Beat eggs together with sugar until you get a smooth and even texture. Beat in vanilla and salt.
- In small portions, add flour to the mixture and blend it right until it looks mixed. Gradually add butter in steady stream, beat only until mixed.
- Spoon batter into each pan well. You don’t need to spread them, as they will melt and spread nicely on their own.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown. Cool for a few minutes and remove from the pan.
