| DIP COOLED MADELEINES IN MELTED WHITE CHOCOLATE, ADD SPRINKLES |
 |
| PRETTY ENOUGH FOR A PRINCESS |
Note: Regular Pans--Recipe makes 12
I'm slow getting my "Dorie" baking completed and posted. I started the day with a text message from a very good friend telling me that her mother had just passed away this morning. I've been helping my friend and am making dinner for her family today. I'm quickly posting my Madeleines while I wait for my friend's dinner to finish cooking. I'm using these sponge-cake cookies for their dessert.

| WHISK WET INGREDIENTS EXCEPT BUTTER UNTIL THICK, MELT THE BUTTER, FOLD WET INTO DRY AND ADD BUTTER |
I was out a few minutes ago and it is 108^ here in Gilbert, AZ. From past experience, I know that these cookies need something...something to dip into like hot cider or cocoa (but too hot here today), or something to "spoon" with such as a custard or posset of some type. With that in mind, I dipped these Madeleines in white chocolate and added some cheery sprinkles...my friend has 3 children still at home...they will like the fun additions.

| LET THE BATTER REST IN THE FRIDGE |
I doubled the recipe...I have the kiddies coming to play with me for about 5 hours tomorrow and I'll need some treats. And Honey's dad just stopped by, and since she is usually my cooking buddy, I had to send a plate home get her opinion.
I liked the citrus zest and spices. My only change to this recipe was I used more cinnamon, a little less ginger, and a little less cloves. I like the addition of pepper.
I looked at 4 other Madeleine recipes before baking and found them all to be exactly the same except for the addition of pepper.

| THESE COOKIES ARE FAST...JUST PIPE INTO THE MOLDS, BAKE FOR 8 MINUTES (OVEN 375^ FOR DARK PANS) |
These cookies are easy and quick. I pipe the batter into the molds making them a really fast cookie to produce.

| JUST OUT OF THE OVEN |

| IMMEDIATELY OUT OF THE OVEN-- DUMP OUT TO COOL |
Note: Mini pan--this recipe makes 36...However, by doubling the recipe I got 12 regular and 80 mini, so...that was fun.
I'm sure my friend's family will enjoy these cookies and so will my family. It will be fun to see what you all have done with these beautiful treats.

| A PLATEFUL FOR THE KIDDIES |
