Gluten Free Madeleine Cookies

"The Madeleine is a truly exceptional cookie—so exceptional, in fact, that the broader baking world considers it to be, technically, a small cake. If you’ve ever tried a Madeleine, that might not come as a surprise, as their mildly sweet flavor and soft, airy crumb are certainly as luxurious as any cake you’ll find. That’s especially true of Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Madeleine Cookies, made for us by a bakery partner in France who uses just the right ratio of gluten free flours and starches to give each of these Madeleines the same superb flavor and captivatingly cake-like texture as you’d expect from their conventional counterparts at a Parisian patisserie. Talk about having your cake and eating it, too! While our Gluten Free Madeleine Cookies can be enjoyed entirely on their own, as a solitary sweet treat or quick, post-meal dessert, we’re particularly partial to serving them with a cup of coffee or tea. (Try them dunked in our French Roast for an especially appropriate accompaniment.) And for an even more elevated eating experience (and a romantic dessert-for-two option), try dipping them in melted dark chocolate and sprinkling them with chopped Pistachios or crushed Freeze Dried Strawberries."
