Gourmet Madeleine Cookies image

Delicious and soft French cookies. The recipe is from Bon Appetit Magazine (January 2000). "This cookie launched a thousand memories - and a literary masterpiece - for Marcel Proust. The group enjoys madeleines with tea, just as the narrator did in Swann's Way." Uses a special madeleine pan (a metal mold with scallop-shaped indentations, sold at cookware stores).
