Very nice dark chocolate tasting treat. Not very sweet at all; tasted like semi-sweet dark chocolate to me. Not really a kid cookie, but a nice soft madeleine. I made 12 madeleines but my pan only holds 12 and there was only enough batter leftover for maybe 1 more so I didn't make them. These are not for someone who wants a very sweet cookie! but were enjoyed.

I've been looking for not-too-sweet baked desserts, and this is my favorite so far! The whipped egg whites give a fluffy, cakey texture, and the chocolate is not overpowering. My brown sugar was lumpy, so I added it to the egg yolks to dissolve, rather than whipping it with the egg whites. These were quick and easy to make, even without a Madeleine pan. I used shortening to grease my cookie sheets and let the cookies cool for a couple minutes, then transferred to a paper-lined rack to cool. The recipe made 14 2-1/2" cookies. They did cook quickly; mine were done in 9 minutes. Thanks for a keeper, Jenny!

I love to garden, both perennials and vegetables. I am always looking for recipes to fiddle with, especially good simple vegetable dishes. I try to use organic ingredients as much as possible.
