Gourmet Madeleine Cookies image

Delicious and soft French cookies. The recipe is from Bon Appetit Magazine (January 2000). "This cookie launched a thousand memories - and a literary masterpiece - for Marcel Proust. The group enjoys madeleines with tea, just as the narrator did in Swann's Way." Uses a special madeleine pan (a metal mold with scallop-shaped indentations, sold at cookware stores).

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time I make them.

I've made these cookies several times now and they always turn out perfectly. They're so light and fluffy, and the lemon flavor is just right. I love that they're also relatively easy to make.

These cookies were a bit dry. I think I might have overbaked them. But the flavor was still good.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to rise properly. I think I might have overmixed the batter. But even though they didn't look perfect, they still tasted delicious.

I've tried many madeleine recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are perfectly golden brown and have a lovely hump. The flavor is also amazing, with a hint of lemon and vanilla. I'm so glad I found this recipe!
