Delicious and soft French cookies. The recipe is from Bon Appetit Magazine (January 2000). "This cookie launched a thousand memories — and a literary masterpiece — for Marcel Proust. The group enjoys madeleines with tea, just as the narrator did in Swann’s Way." Uses a special madeleine pan (a metal mold with scallop-shaped indentations, sold at cookware stores).

20 cookies (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 large eggs
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 pinch salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, cooled slightly
powdered sugar

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 375°F Generously butter and flour pan for large madeleines (about 3x1 1/4 inches).
2
Using electric mixer, beat eggs and 2/3 cup sugar in large bowl just to blend. Beat in vanilla, lemon peel and salt. Add flour; beat just until blended. Gradually add cooled melted butter in steady stream, beating just until blended.
3
Spoon 1 tablespoon batter into each indentation in pan. Bake until puffed and brown, about 10-16 minutes. Cool 5 minutes. Gently remove from pan. Repeat process, buttering and flouring pan before each batch. (Can be made 1 day ahead.).
4
Dust cookies with powdered sugar.

Thank you for this recipe! I made madeleines for the first time yesterday and they turned out wonderful. The recipe was enough for 24 cookies. I can't believe how easy these are to make; might be the easiest recipe I've tried yet!

These were so easy to make and tasted terrific! I didn't have a Madeleine pan so I just put them on the cookie sheet. They turned out fine.

Very good cookies, easy to make love the lemon peel in these cookies. I made exactly 20 cookies. Ive made these twice now and the second time I baked them at 350 degrees which baked up with less of a crispy edge. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
