It's amazing how delicate these cookies look considering how simple they are to make. It's all in the scalloped pan!! The recipe is easy to follow and the cardamom adds an interesting fragrance not commonly found in cookies. But, it's the orange icing that really takes this cookie way past ordinary Madeleines!! And, the icing also helps cover up some of the air pockets/holes - not sure what caused these holes on some of the cookies?? I made a second batch paying special attention to the egg-sugar mixture and gentle introduction of the dry ingredients....but to no avail - some cookies still had air holes. Holes or no holes, the cookies are delicious!! I sent a box to my sister - hope she enjoys them! A "keeper" recipe and something that can be put together last minute (but allow for the 30min refrigeration time).
