Classic Lemon Madeleines Cookies

There nothing more delicious than a soft citrusy cakey cookie sprinkled with confectioners sugar. It’s perfect to dip in tea, coffee, and even hot chocolate.

I’m a purist and enjoy these Classic Lemon Madeleines by themselves. They’re moist, and oh so flavorful. My daughter on the other hand, suggested we dip the tips in melted chocolate. I promised her we’ll do it with out next batch.

If you’re looking for an inexpensive but awesome Holiday gift, place these cookies inside a festive tin and they will definitely do the trick. Who wouldn’t love receiving these? Perfect for kid’s teachers, mailman, co-workers, friends, etc.

If you’ve been following my Instagram account, you may have notice that my husband and I were in Paris a couple of weeks ago. We loved visiting their museums, streets, and landmarks.

We of course, enjoyed their food. But our favorite part was the patisserie. Now my husband says he won’t look at desserts the same way ever again. The bar is high and that inspired me to bake a batch of these Classic Lemon Madeleines Cookies.

Each bite has so much flavor with a bright citrusy aroma that having just one is almost impossible. Believe me, I’ve fallen into temptation a few times.

And did I mention?, these are super easy to whip up and you can double or even triple the batch without any trouble. The only special equipment needed is a Madeleine pan. If you don’t have it, simply use a mini muffin pan.
