This is a classic French butter cookie with a hint of orange flavor and sprinkled with powdered sugar on top. The recipe makes 36 cookies and requires 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 4 large eggs, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 2/3 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon orange blossom water, and 1 teaspoon grated orange zest.
To make the cookies, thoroughly butter and flour the madeleine molds and set aside. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Melt the butter and let it cool. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs, salt, and sugar until very light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla and orange blossom water. Fold in the flour, then the melted butter and orange zest. Pour the batter into the molds, filling almost to the top. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cakes are firm in the center. Cool for 1 minute in the molds, then turn out onto a rack.
