This was my first time making madeleines and they indeed came out delicious. I used 1/3 tsp of cocoa powder instead of the lemon zest. My only advice would be to really make sure your pan is well-greased or better yet, use a silicone pan. I oiled the pan with almond oil which just wasn't greasy enough. It was somewhat time-consuming to remove them from the traditional pan without completely destroying them. Very delicious though. I dipped half in melted chocolate - also a big hit.

This recipe was easy to follow, the cookies were moist, but it seemed like it was missing something. I may make these again and add more extract and maybe dip it in chocolate.

We used orange zest instead of lemon and it was wonderful. But I would recommend using the batter right away and not letting it sit. The taste is great, but it changes the texture. Also, they're best right out of the oven with a hot cup of coffee!

These are sooo good! I'm not a huge fan of lemon, so the second time I made these I reduced the zest by half and added a couple extra drops of vanilla. My only tip would be for really pretty madeleines make sure you wash and re-grease & flour your pan for the second batch if you have only a 12 madeleine pan. I made them plain, sifted some confectioners sugar over some, and dipped the tips of others in a homemade maple frosting. YUM!

This is, quite literally, the perfect Madeleine recipe. It's quick, and easy, and they're an absolutely delightful, surprising treat, year round.

These are some pretty good cookies. They were sort of hard to make but the taste great. The ingredients are stuff that you usually have around the house so you can make them any time. The weren't the most flavorful, I would probably some more vanilla extract.

Yum! We made these as Christmas gifts in 2000 and called them Madeline's Madeleines. They're somewhat time consuming but worth the effort. Also, they don't last long in storage.
