Pink Lemonade Madeleine Cookie Sandwiches

Ingredients
  

  • Lemon Madeleines
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp lemon extract
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon zest
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 2-3 drops of pink and yellow gel food coloring
  • Lemon Butter Cream Frosting
  • 1 cup of salted butter
  • 4 cups of powdered sugar
  • 2 tbs lemon zest
  • 3 tbs lemon juice
  • 2 tsp cream

Instructions
 

  • Set oven to 375 degrees F and grease your favorite madeleine pan.
  • In a bowl beat eggs. lemon extract, lemon zest, and vanilla extract on high for about 5 minutes (until light in color).
  • Slowly mix in powdered sugar and keep beating until thick and smooth.
  • Sift together baking powder and flour. Gently fold in 1/2 the flour to your egg mixture. Fold in the next half.
  • Lastly, gently fold in melted butter.
  • Divide batter in half and add 2-3 drops of pink gel food coloring to one half and yellow food coloring to other half. Mix well until desired color appears.
  • Pour each colored portion of batter into a zip lock baggie and snip the tip off to pipe stripes of pink and yellow in the madeleine molds. Make sure you only fill them 3/4 full. Otherwise you will get what I call, monster madeleines.
  • While those bake, mix the Lemon Butter Cream Frosting.
  • Beat room temperature butter and add powdered sugar 1 cup at a time. Next mix in lemon juice and lemon zest. Add cream if you need to thin it out a little.
  • Once the madeleines have cooled, pipe a little frosting onto the madeleines to make cute little cookie sandwiches.
  • Eat.
