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

These delicious gluten free butterscotch madeleine cookies are a delicious treat.

I feel like I have ignored my madeleines pan lately…I haven’t touched it since early spring when I made these 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

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 :-).

How to make gluten free madeleines:

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.
