In another bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, and coffee mate. Add the butter, mix, and finally add the flour mixture slowly until combined
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours. This step is optional but gives the cookie more flavor.
Use a piping bag or a spoon to fill each crevice of the Madeleine pan. Do not overfill
