What Are Madeleines? <\/h2>\n

Madeleines are kind of like a cross between a cookie and cake. While they are often referred to as cookies, they are technically mini butter cakes. <\/p>\n

Madeleines cookies are made with a light sponge cake batter with melted butter folded into it, known as genoise. The batter is chilled then baked in a madeleine pan, which gives them their elegant, shell-like shape. The end result is slightly crisp on the outside, but soft and cakey inside.<\/p>\n

While these may seem like a fancy or difficult dessert to make, I can assure you that they are actually pretty easy! This French treat is perfect with a cup of tea or coffee, but tastes delicious on their own with just a simple dusting of powdered sugar.<\/p>\n
