French madeleines are scallop-shaped sponge cookies that have always been considered a highlight of tea parties. The hallmark of these cookies is their nutty flavor, most often almond, but coconut can be substituted for an even more unique aroma and flavor. Madeleines are traditionally baked in a shell-shaped mold, but if you don't have one on hand, you can use other shallow molds or even tablespoons. For a more festive look, dust them with powdered sugar before serving.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 190°C. Grease and flour madeleine cookie sheets thoroughly.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla on medium speed for 3 minutes, or until light yellow and fluffy. Add 110g of butter and beat until combined. Sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt, and fold into the batter with a silicone spatula. Fold in the coconut.

  3. Using a large spoon, fill the cookie cutters almost to the top with batter. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until they spring back when pressed. Turn them out onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and let cool. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
