Madeleines
Buttery sponge cake cookies with vanilla flavor
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract or paste
- pinch of salt
- 1 cup AP flour
- 10 tbsp melted unsalted butter
- powdered sugar for coating
Instructions
- Whisk the eggs, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl until fully combined. Add the pinch of salt and the flour and mix until just combined. Slowly add the melted butter and mix until just combined. Use a cookie scoop or a tsp to measure batter into your Madeleine pan. You don't want to fill up the well completely because the batter will spread when baked (see pic).
- Bake at 350 for about 8 minutes but watch the cookies closely. They are supposed to be soft so you really don't want to overbake them. I overbaked mine in the picture. There should only be slight browning on the edges. As soon as the little hump forms in the back of the cookie and looks cooked you know they are done.
- Cool until slightly warm and then dust with powdered sugar if you like.
