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. 

You can get the recipe for these on Margot’s blog.  Check out the other TWD bakers' madeleines, too.

Valerie GamineGorgeous 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.
Jessica of My Baking HeartThey're absolutely perfect - not too big at all! :)
AnonymousI 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.
chocolatechicStunning looking cookies...or is a madeleine a cake? Beautiful.
♥peachkins♥wow!madeleine s'mores!
CarolineHow pretty! I have always wanted to try making them, but have never committed to getting the pan! Yours sound delightful!
AnonymousI've always wanted a madeleine pan, they're so dainty :) Fluff and chocolate are such a wonderful Americanisation of the French classic!
Chats the Comfy CookI 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.
LisaYour 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.
jasna varcakovicLovely blog...and madeleins too!
MaryAgree....it would have been better with 16 rather than 12 over-filled ones....I love the squiggle of white chocolate.
margotYour 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!
LeslieThese look so professional, Katrina! I agree, ganache inside and out would make these even yummier.
KayteThis 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.)
KerriI received my pie baking goodies that I won from your giveaway. Thank you!! Here is a blog post about it. http://kerriskitchen-texas.blogspot.com/2011/01/i-won-pie-giveaway-from-baking-and-boys.html

Lisa ErnstI am so with you on this -- ganache filled and coated over marshmallow fluff any day! The cookies sound really tempting that way.....
AnonymousI'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!
Welcome to our crazy blessed lifeI think these are the prettiest madelines I have seen! What a fantastic job!
