Madeleine

I always wanted to try my hand at baking and thought why not start with the cookies I love! They are called Madeleine's and they are french. It needs a special mold to make . This is my 1st attempt in making these simple yet delicious cookies. Hope all you cooks out there will enjoy making and relishing these cookies as much as I did. So enjoy them warm with a cuppa of chai!
