Time 50m

Yield 2 dozen.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup whole hazelnuts, toasted
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 cup butter, divided
2 tablespoons plus 1 cup all-purpose flour, divided
2 large eggs, separated, room temperature
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
Additional confectioners' sugar, optional

Steps:

  • In a food processor, combine the hazelnuts and confectioners' sugar; cover and process until nuts are finely chopped. Set aside. Melt 1 tablespoon butter; brush two 12-shell madeleine pans with butter. Dust with 2 tablespoons flour; tap pans to remove excess flour and set aside. Place remaining 1/2 cup butter in a saucepan; melt over low heat until it turns a light amber color, 4-5 minutes. Set aside to cool., In a large bowl, beat egg yolks and sugar until thick and a pale lemon color. Stir in melted butter and vanilla. Combine the baking powder, salt and remaining flour; stir into butter mixture just until combined. In a small bowl, beat egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form; fold into batter. Gently fold in reserved nut mixture., With a tablespoon, fill prepared pans two-thirds full. Bake at 325° until golden brown, 18-20 minutes. Cool for 2 minutes before inverting pans onto wire racks to remove cookies. Cool completely. Lightly dust with additional confectioners' sugar if desired.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more butter next time. However, the hazelnut flavor was very good.

These cookies were a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I would add an extra egg yolk next time. However, the hazelnut flavor was very good.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time. However, the hazelnut flavor was very good.

I'm not a huge fan of hazelnuts, but I decided to try these cookies anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The hazelnut flavor was not overpowering and the cookies were very moist and flavorful.

These cookies were easy to make and turned out great! I used a regular muffin tin and they still came out with the classic madeleine shape. The hazelnut flavor was subtle but delicious.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I overcooked them slightly. However, the hazelnut flavor was still very good. I would try them again, but I would be more careful not to overcook them.

These hazelnut madeleine cookies were a delightful treat! They were easy to make and had a wonderful nutty flavor. I used a mini madeleine pan and got about 3 dozen cookies. They were perfect for a quick snack or dessert.
