There’s not a whole lot I can say about these cookies. I’ve never had a Madeleine before, and I may never again. They were not difficult to bake, and thankfully I didn’t have to buy a pan special for this. My friend Charlene had one I borrowed. It produced tiny Madelines. About the size of my thumb. So they were cute. But extremely dry. The only change I made to the recipe was to brown the butter. Because, really, who doesn’t like brown butter?
I ate a few and sent them to school with the kids. The boys didn’t eat them, and Dorothy enjoyed them for a few days, but I felt that they went stale very quickly.
Probably, there are lots of beautiful examples in the leave your link post at Tuesdays with Dorie, and at the host’s blog: counter dog
Hopefully I like the next recipe more!
Your little cookie cakes look much darker than mine, but all in all a tasty treat! Blessings, Catherine http://www.praycookblog.com
Wow. Your batter looks nice and thick – mine was a bit on the runny side. I was not a fan of this recipe, even with adding some citrus flavoring.
love that you added brown butter. These aren’t my favorite either.
I figured with so little flavor….they needed all the help they could get. I put some sea salt on some of them too. it didn’t help. I tried.
