Amaretto Madeleines With Amaretto-Vanilla Bean Glaze
- 10 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Plus More For The Pan
- 2/3 cups Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoons Coarse Salt
- 3 whole Eggs, Room Temperature
- 2 teaspoons Amaretto
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste Or Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Flour, Sifted
- _____
- FOR THE GLAZE:
- 1-1/4 cup Powdered Sugar, Sifted
- 3 Tablespoons Whole Milk (or Any Milk You Have On Hand, Lower Fat Milk Will Make A Thinner Glaze)
- 2 Tablespoons Amaretto
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste Or Vanilla Extract
- Over medium heat, melt the butter in a saucepan. Simmer gently until the color of the butter deepens slightly and there are small flecks of brown in the butter, about 5 minutes.
- Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Beat the sugar, salt and eggs for several minutes until they are light yellow and thickened. Stir in the amaretto and vanilla bean paste.
- Gently fold in the flour and butter in 3 additions each, alternating between the two. Refrigerate the batter for 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Brush the madeleine pan with melted butter.
- Fill the pans with 1 heaping tablespoon of dough per cookie. Bake for 12 minutes until the edges are light brown.
- Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Carefully remove from the pan and let cool completely on a cooling rack.
- If making these in 2 batches, let the pan cool completely. Wipe out the cookie molds and re-coat with melted butter.
- To make the glaze, whisk glaze ingredients until combined. Place the madeleines on a cooling rack placed on a cookie sheet. (This will catch the glaze and make for easier clean-up.) Spoon glaze over the cooled cookies.
