Fluff-Filled Chocolate Madeleines were chosen for TWD this week by Margot from Effort to Deliciousness.
I’ve never made madeleines. Have always thought they are pretty. Decided to finally buy a pan. It came a good week ago. I just made the cookies Monday afternoon.
I have decided that I wish Dorie’s recipes would tell how many cookies a recipe should make. Seems like I’ve wondered before on some other recipes in the book, Baking From My Home to Yours. I also didn’t know with madeleines how much cookie dough/batter should go in each little mold. So I used all the dough for 12, since the recipe says one pan.
I think the molds were a little overfilled. I think the recipe would make 16-18 cookies better than 12. The cookies took 21 minutes until I decided they were done. They came right out of the pan, which I did butter and flour well. The cookies seem huge.
I followed the recipe exactly. So these are fluff-filled, but you can’t really tell. I tried to show the inside, but never did get a good picture of it. But I will say this—these are mighty tasty. They definitely need the ganache for that added kick. I think I would rather have them filled with ganache and dipped in it. I drizzled a fun little S on the ganache with some melted white chocolate.

I am so with you on this -- ganache filled and coated over marshmallow fluff any day! The cookies sound really tempting that way.....
How pretty! I have always wanted to try making them, but have never committed to getting the pan! Yours sound delightful!
These look so professional, Katrina! I agree, ganache inside and out would make these even yummier.
This is your first time??? OMW, I am a veteran Mad baker and believe me, mine do not show that at all. Yours look perfect. I'm not coming back here anymore. (Just kidding.)
Gorgeous cookies! I love that drizzle of delicate white chocolate. :)
My cookies were all different sizes, I couldn't figure out how to add the batter to the pan either.
Stunning looking cookies...or is a madeleine a cake?
Beautiful.
They look excellent ! I love your design on top!!
They're absolutely perfect - not too big at all! :)
I used a mini-muffin pan and got 16 so you may be on to something. I also thought the ganache was definitely a requirement. Cute S.
Agree....it would have been better with 16 rather than 12 over-filled ones....I love the squiggle of white chocolate.
Glad you liked them. They look great!
I've made madeleines a few times, and I'm still never clear on how much batter to put in each mold! My madeleines turned out huge with this recipe too. Yours look terrific though - love the white chocolate!
Lovely blog...and madeleins too!
I really want to get a madeleine pan! I love how you dipped them in chocolate - so festive!
I think these are the prettiest madelines I have seen! What a fantastic job!
Your madeleines look lovely. Great job for your first time. Must be heavenly to bite into all that fluff filling, though I certainly wouldn't pass on a ganache filled one either.
I have never made madelines and don't have a pan. if i were to make them i think chocoalte would be the way to go!
Your madeleines look fantastic! I got twelve, too, and they seemed enormous. I agree that the ganache totally made these. Thanks for baking with me this week!
I used the batter all up also but I think, I could have gotten another two out of this batter.
Yours came out looking neat and lovely.
I've always wanted a madeleine pan, they're so dainty :) Fluff and chocolate are such a wonderful Americanisation of the French classic!
Love these. Bet they are yummy. I've never made Madeleines because I don't have a pan. They're my sister's fave cookie.
