Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 stick butter, ½ cup

Instructions
 

  • Add the eggs and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat it on medium-high speed for 8-10 minutes, or until it is smooth, pale yellow, and creamy. Add vanilla the last minute of beating.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder.
  • Combine the flour mixture with the egg mixture and fold it in gently.
  • Melt the butter - about 2 minutes in the microwave - and fold it into the batter.
  • Transfer the batter in the fridge for 1 hour (I don’t usually cover mine but use plastic wrap or a kitchen towel if you prefer to cover it).
  • Towards the end of the chilling step, preheat the oven to 350° F and grease a madeleine pan with melted butter and non-stick cooking spray.
  • Scoop the batter into the molds until they are ¾ full using a spoon or ice cream scoop. Gently press the batter into the molds (wetting your hand helps prevent the batter from sticking).
  • Bake until the madeleines are set - about 13 minutes.
  • Transfer the madeleines to a wire rack to cool.
  • If desired, garnish with a light dusting of powdered sugar or dip in melted chocolate.
  • Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature (or in the fridge if you dipped them in chocolate) for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • Melt the butter when you begin making the cookie so that it can cool a little bit before you add it to your batter.
  • Beat the eggs and sugar for the full amount of time!
  • Gently fold the other ingredients. This will keep the air bubbles in the batter intact so your madeleines get fluffy.
  • Madeleines that have become dry after a few days are still yummy dipped in coffee, tea, or hot chocolate.
