Almond Madeleines
36 cookies
20 minutes to assemble
11-13 minutes to bake
1-7 oz box Odense Almond Paste
1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter, melted
2/3 cup sugar
3 eggs, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
Powdered sugar
Madeleine pan
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease and flour a madeleine pan.
- Using an electric mixture, beat Almond Paste, butter and sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well between each. Beat on high for 5 minutes or until mixture is thick and pale colored. Beat in extract.
- Sift flour, baking powder and salt together. Pour flour mixture into almond mixture a third at a time, folding gently until incorporated.
- Spoon* one tablespoon batter into each mold. Bake 11-13 minutes until light golden and top springs back when pressed.
- Cool pan on wire rack for a few minutes and gently unmold. Cool cookies on wire rack and dust with powdered sugar. Repeat steps 5-6 until all batter has been used.
A cookie scoop that holds 1 tablespoon of batter makes quick work of this step.
Madeleine batter can be baked in mini muffin pans with a slight change in directions. Decrease batter to a scant two teaspoons and bake 10-11 minutes. Makes approximately 50 mini cupcakes.
Madeleines can be double wrapped and frozen up to one month. Thaw on counter and do not microwave.
