If you have any questions that are not answered in the following tips, please leave them in the comments. I’m sure you are going to love this easy cookie recipe!

Coat the Madeliene Pan

This dough sticks to pans, so prepare your pan before you bake them. I found that spreading butting in the pan is the best way. You can also coat it lightly with a dusting of flour.

Use Vanilla Instead Of A Vanilla Bean

Using a real vanilla bean will give the cookies an unmistakably rich flavor. Alternatively, you can replace one vanilla bean with 3 teaspoons of vanilla extract.

Remove Air Bubbles

Spoon the batter into the madeleine mold. Be careful and only fill it 3/4 full. Then, tap the pan on the countertop to eliminate any air bubbles.

Make The Homemade Caramel Dip

Save this recipe even if it is just to have the caramel dip! It tastes delicious drizzled on top of apples or in your homemade latte.

Making homemade caramel sauce is super simple. You just need a small saucepan. Cook all the caramel sauce ingredients over medium heat. As soon as it boils, remove it from the heat. Let it cool and then store it in mason jars in the refrigerator.
