How to make the Madeleine cookies

Ingredients

Eggs
All-purpose flour
Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
Granulated sugar
Lemon zest

Preheat oven to 375^oF degrees (190^oC).

In the small bowl melt unsalted butter and let it cool to room temperature.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together, granulated sugar and eggs until you get a fluffy texture. About 3-5 minutes depends on the speed of your mixer.

Add zest of one lemon into the mixture. Fold in the flour. Add melted butter around the edges of the mixing bowl and mix until all combines. Place all madeleine cookies dough into pipping bag and chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.

Tip from Marina: if you don’t have pipping bag, use Ziplock bag.

Grease madeleine cookies pan with butter. Cut out a corner of pipping bag and divide the batter among the madeleine pan.

Bake at 375^oF (190^oC) for 10-12 minutes until slightly brown on top.

Allow the cookies to cool completely. Dip into chocolate and decorate with freeze dried raspberries. This is totally optional.

How to store

Store them in an air-tight container or storage bag on the counter for 2-3 days. It is best to eat them within a day. Usually, they disappear fast.

Can you freeze Madeleine cookies?

Yes, they are great for freezing. Place cookies into plastic bag or air-tight container and keep in the freezer. When you are ready to eat them, allow cookies in the refrigerator for a few hours. After that you can deep into chocolate and decorate.
