Light and Fluffy Gluten Free Butterscotch Madeleines

These gluten free butterscotch madeleines are my guilty pleasure lately. Light and cake-like, you will love how these cookies melt in your mouth.

If you love cookies as much as we do, you will want to check out all of my delicious gluten free cookie recipes!

I feel like I have ignored my madeleines pan lately...I haven't touched it since early spring when I made Gluten Free Kumquat Madeleines. In Europe, they would call these cookies madeleines au Citron. I just say they are yummy and have a distinct citrus flavor.

It isn't the pan's fault, it is mine. My madeleines pan ended up so far back in the cabinet, I completely forgot about it. Maybe this is common for food bloggers because we collect so many fun kitchen gadgets and toys :-).

Madeleines are a French sponge cake that is often thought of as a cookie because of its size. The flavor is light and slightly sweet. These are perfect with a cup of coffee or tea.

For this craving, I used butterscotch chips. These are definitely not traditional for madeleines cookies...but a craving is a craving :-).

Instructions:

After whisking the dry ingredients to blend, add the wet ingredients and the butterscotch chips. Mix well.

Your dough will be fluffy and thick.

Add a little dough to each Madeleine cake section. Don't worry that it is blobby...it melts down easily to form the classic Madeleine shape.

How long do you bake Madeleines?

Bake your Madeleines for 8-10 minutes in the oven at 350º F until done. Allow them to cool on a cooling rack.
