 Hey there,

Spring has arrived and Easter is next week, I thought of re-posting this wonderful French Madeleine Orange Butter Cookie Recipe just in case you would like to give the recipe a try. 

Have a great morning/afternoon/evening everyone. 🙂

 

Hi there everyone,

Whenever I bake these delicious shell-shaped Madeleine Orange Butter cookies Spring has arrived.  I daydream, about traveling, to France, Italy, Spain, and Greece. One of the countries that usually stands out in Spring is definitely France.  Paris is one of my favorite cities, favorite cities yes but the countryside of France is just breathtaking.  Beautiful, picturesque villages, filled with quaint Cafes with mouthwatering pastries.  For example, fresh-baked Eclairs filled with fresh Vanilla Custard, fresh-baked Lemon tart, or delicious Vanilla flavored Madeleine.   Sound good?    These lovely  Madeline Orange Butter cookies are a tradition in France.  In some cafes in the countryside, they will serve you coffee with a Madeleine Cookie.  The first time I tried this cookie was years ago when I was visiting the Northern part of France we found a lovely small cafe that offered freshly baked  Vanilla Madeleine Cookies.

I’ve made Vanilla Madeleines but I was looking for a recipe that had a bit of a sweeter taste.  I found this Madeleine Orange Butter Cookie recipe below from “Entertaining with Beth”  I have been following her for a while and she has some great recipes. I gave this recipe a try,  but I wanted a bit more of the orange taste  I squeezed half of the orange that I used and added one and a half tablespoons to the recipe as my twist.   The original recipe does not call for orange juice but you can leave it out.

Most prefer these delicious little bites with a cup of tea, but I enjoy these little cookies with a nice cup of coffee.

I hope you give these cookies a try, let me know what you think.

Have a great day everyone!!

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
