Never heard of Madeleines? In my search for new and interesting desserts, I found a recipe for Madeleine cookies. Madeleines are traditionally a French cookie (that are deliciously soft and cake-like), and are baked in pans similar to cupcake pans. Only instead of a pan of cups, the cookies are baked in pans covered with little shell shapes. These yummy cookies lend themselves perfectly to a cupcake transition! My Madeleine cupcakes are made with powdered sugar IN THE BATTER (and only a little flour)! This creates a very light, fluffy cupcake. Also included is fresh orange zest and a hint of almond. Each cupcake is swirled with lightly orange cream cheese icing and sprinkles. Delicious and refreshing!
