Such simple elegance.

Despite the delicate and elegant appearance of the French madeleine cookies, this is one of the easiest and fastest recipes, which only requires a quick mixing of all the ingredients and an oven.

Since I'm a fan of sour flavors, I also added a lemon glaze to them, which creates a winning and refreshing combination - just what you need with your morning or afternoon coffee.

Preparation

How do you make lemon madeleine cookies?

• 1 Melt the butter in a pan and set aside to cool.

  If you want to achieve a buttery-nutty taste, continue heating until the butter gets a light brown color (be careful not to burn the butter).

• 2 In a bowl, mix the rest of the ingredients well.

• 3 Add the butter, mix to a smooth mass and transfer to a piping bag.

  Put the closed bag in the refrigerator for at least two hours (if you don't have a piping bag, leave the mixture in the bowl, cover tightly with a bag and transfer to the refrigerator).

• 4 Before baking, heat the oven to 170 degrees.

  Grease a socket mold for Madeleine cookies and lightly flour it (if there are no Madeleine molds, you can bake in a mold for mini muffins).

• 5 Remove the mixture from the refrigerator and pour into the madeleine molds up to 3/4 of the height of the sockets.

• 6 Bake for about 12 minutes, until the cookies become golden.

• 7

  Prepare the coating:

  mix well the powdered sugar with the lemon juice - the more liquid the mixture, the thinner the coating will be.

• 8 After removing the madeleine cookies from the mold, dip them in the lemon coating or drizzle over them when they are placed on a wire rack.
