Lemon Madeleines! Your favorite French tea cake cookie with perfect notes of lemon! Perfect for spring!

I’ve been wanting to make Lemon Madeleines for the longest time. These are not only my youngest daughter’s favorite baked treat but they are also her namesake. We buy them pretty much every time we pick up coffee at Starbucks and it was about time I made these

Now, this was my first time baking these so I tried to read up as much as possible. . I was trying to get the perfect Madeleine cookie. . I think mine came out too brown, probably from the butter I used to grease the pan and my humps were a bit too big. I followed

But we still devoured every single one of these! If you have any tips you can share with me, please do!!! These are the perfect tea cake cookies for brunches, parties, get togethers and more.

And I will leave you with this very important TIP: Grease (and flour) your madeleine tin pan and set in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour. This will help you easily remove the baked madeleines after baking.
