MADELEINES

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 8 Minutes

Ingredients:

Cookies:

• 1 ¼ c flour
• 2/3 c sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp espresso powder
• ¼ c Dutch processed cocoa powder
• 4 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 10 tbsp butter, melted and cooled

Ganache:

• ½ c heavy cream
• 1 c semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease and flour madeleine pan and set aside.
2. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, espresso powder and cocoa powder.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and vanilla and then add to flour mixture and mix to combine.
4. Pour melted butter into the batter and stir until fully incorporated.
5. Scoop a tablespoon of batter into each madeleine cavity of the pan. Bake for about 8 minutes until madeleines spring back when lightly touched. Immediately flip over pan to release madeleines and let cool.
6. Pour heavy cream into a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds or until hot but not bubbling. Immediately pour chocolate chips into bowl of hot cream and let sit for 3-4 minutes.
7. Stir heavy cream mixture until chocolate chips are fully melted and incorporated, making ganache. Dip the wavy side of the madeleines into the ganache and place on a wire rack to set.
