Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • cellenly on June 12, 2025

    Like a cookie madeleine. A cakey cookie. Fast and easy to make batter. Super sticky batter and most of the time was spent dropping cookie on sheet (even with portion scoop). Would want to try freezing into log then slicing so to make area for sprinkling sugar. However we did some drop cookies and liked it even without though we preferred with sugar. Used #100 scoop and didn’t spread much bc it was so small. The bigger cookies were thicker and felt more madeleine-y. #100 scoop = 38 cookies hard to stack cookies bc they stick and when pull apart, they break bc so thin.
