Coconut Orange Madeleines

It almost happened to me…when I woke up I didn’t realize it was my bake day! Danielle delivering for Shelly yesterday is probably the reason for my throw off- lol! This cookie is so quick that I could have easily whipped it up at the last minute but luckily I realized before the kids left for school.

This recipe requires a Madeleine pan which I do not own; however, the recipe suggests that a mini muffin pan will work just the same. Good for me. However, Theresa’s picture of her cookies is much cuter and more delicate. The mini muffin tin really doesn’t do this cookie justice.

It is another easy recipe to prepare. What I especially like is that every ingredient requires a different measuring cup or spoon so there was no washing or sharing sizes making the process quicker.

The cookies, which look like muffins, taste great. This recipe did not take 5 hours to bake. Just minutes and if I had more muffin pans the process would have been even shorter. I did go to the cake decorating store, as I needed birthday cake decorations, and did not find a pan. If I did, I would have made a second batch. I yielded 2 dozen even with the muffin tin and can’t wait to share with the pearl girls. BTW, we are again in another birthday boom – 4 more boy’s birthdays between us (one in each family) in the next 10 days. Happy Birthday “DJ”!

Another great day of baking, Phoebe

  1. Thanks for the cookies. I'll have to try them in the morning with a cup of tea. Just wanted to say happy birthday to Dalton, if he's still up!

  2. Phoebe I love your picture and it's good to know the muffin pan worked because I also do not own a madeleine pan. They are cute though so I'm sure I will have one some day, seeing I'm hooked on kitchen tools. L. Sharon

  4. Phoebe, your little mini muffin madeleines look great and I'm glad that your alternative pan worked out. The taste is there and that's all that really matters.

    Happy birthday to all the birthday boys! Theresa G.
