Madeleines aren’t exactly the treat that get me jumping up and down for joy, but when done right, they could almost compete with the real desserts of the world. While Madeleines look like cookies, they’re actually small sponge cakes that are distinctively shaped like shells. Madeleines make lovely additions to sophisticated gatherings like teas, luncheons, and showers.
Donsuemor recently sent me a box of Madeleines that included Lemon Zezt, Chocolate, regular, and chocolate dipped Madeleines. Mmm, I was impressed! Surprisingly so! These fresh treats smelled of rich butter and were adequately sweet for my tastes. I also loved the spongy yet buttery consistency. Well done Donsuemor!

I love madeleines! The last time we bought them was when we drove all the way from NY to Florida. When I returned, I had a blood test that week or so. I’ve never had high cholesterol in my life except for that week. Whoops!
Those Donsuemor madeleines are the best I have ever tasted. I love the lemon and the chocolate are just right and not too sweet. But my favorite thing is to dunk a traditional Donsuemor Madeleine in my coffee in the morning!
Madelines are delightful little treats! The thing that I love about them is that you can use the cakes as a base for tons of creative and cute dessert projects, especially with kids. And the gift boxes work GREAT for gifts. No one argues with a present of deliciousness.
Yummy deliciousness!! I LOVE Madeleines, they are such a sweet surprise in your mouth. I love dipping them into my coffee and tea.
I’m giving them to all the women I know for Christmas:)
These are my favorite cookies for my children. They love them!!!
