Picture straight from my iphone.  I love that little phone.  It’s magic!

We felt very French the other day.   A few Saturdays ago, our dear little Emma was feeling a little stir crazy.  Sometimes she gets that way.  This Sat. wasn’t filled with skiing, or rock climbing, or playing with friends, and Emma needed to make something.   She does that.  She’ll come into the kitchen and say, “So what can we make delicious today?” Someone is going to be very lucky to marry this girl one day.  She can cook.  I knew how to make chocolate chip cookies when I got married, but Em has quite a repertoire.  She decided on some cute little Madeleine cookies.  I had received a Madeleine pan for Christmas and this was our first attempt.  They turned out perfect.  A simple little cookie.  Almost the texture of a pound cake, but more of the crispy edges.  I thought they were wonderful.  So did everyone else.  We felt as if we should be outside a cute Paris cafe maybe cheering on some Tour de France bikers as they rode along.  We can only dream.  A nice little dip in chocolate would be tasty too on these cookies.  So if you’re needing a little vacation, make these and then sit on your porch outside and think of Spring.  I think it’s coming!!  **Here’s a link to the Madeleine Pan.  I got it from Amazon and it works super great!  It wasn’t too bad price wise either:)
