Ingredients

For the Cookies

10 Tbsp unsalted butter cut into pieces
2 eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 Tbsp light brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp salt
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

For Coating the Pan

1 Tbsp unsalted butter melted
1 1/2 tsp all-purpose flour

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a small bowl melt your 10 Tablespoons of butter for the cookies and set it aside to cool.
In a small bowl create your pan coating by combining 1 Tablespoon of melted butter and the flour and whisk it together.
Using a pastry brush, brush each of the cookie cavities on your pan then set the pan aside.
In a large bowl or stand mixer combine the eggs, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, and salt and mix until combined.
Next, sift the flour into the egg mixture ½ cup at a time ensuring it fully combines before adding more. Scrape down the bowl as needed.
Next add in the butter and using a spatula gently fold until everything has combined. Be sure to not over mix.
Drop a heaping Tablespoon into each cookie mold on your Madeleine pan.
Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes until they reach a light golden brown and they spring back when lightly touched.
Remove to a cooling rack, decorate to your liking and enjoy!

Notes

Do Not Over Mix! Having air in the batter is what makes the spongy consistency while baking. If you over mix then you will lose volume, the texture will be chewy, and there will be less moisture in the batter.

Storage: You can store these cookies in an airtight container on your counter for 2-3 days.

Storing these cookies in the fridge can unfortunately increase the staling process so I wouldn't recommend this.
