Here is the recipe to make these delicious cake-like Madeline cookies. FYI you do need to buy a Madeline pan for this recipe or they wont turn out. You know a cookie is fancy when it has its own baking pan :)
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup all- purpose flout
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/4 cup butter
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Melt butter , on the stovetop or microwave, and let it cool to room temperature.
- In a small mixing bowl, beat the eggs, vanilla and salt at a high speed until light.
- Beating constantly, gradually add sugar; and continue beating at high speed until mixture is thick and pale and ribbons form in bowl when beaters are lifted. This can take anywhere between 5 to 10 minutes.
- Sift the flour into the egg mixture 1/3 at a time and gently fold in the ingredients after each addition.
- Add lemon zest and pour melted butter around the edge of the batter. Quickly but gently fold the butter into the batter.
- Spray your Madeline pans with non- stick cooking spray. Spoon the batter into molds; it will mound slightly above tops.
- Bake 14 to 17 minutes, or until cakes are golden and the tops spring back when gently pressed with your fingertip.
- Once the cookies have baked, flip the pan over onto a rack and let them cool before enjoying.
