Chocolate Dipped French Madeleines
Dessert Recipe: Chocolate Dipped French Madeleines (grain free, gluten free and Paleo)
My husband stepped in to the kitchen to help me make these light almond cookies after my failed attempt burned up in the oven. He is so awesome! I am so lucky to be married to a chef. He loves to re-work traditional recipes to fit a gluten-free, grain-free, and paleo diet. These desserts are similar to French cookies we had on our trip to North Africa and France earlier this year for our book research. Almond flour is traditionally used as a baking ingredient in those countries and it makes a wonderful light and airy cookie if using the blanched variety.
