These Madeleines cookies are so classic, so spongy and tasty, and ideal to enjoy them soon after they have cooled down. That is why it’s best to eat them fresh, and hopefully not keeping them for more than a day or so. They’re ideal to give them as a present, or to enjoy them with a cup of tea or coffee. This is a super recipe that I adapted from Rachel Khoo.
