Hazelnut Madeleines
These Hazelnut Madeleines are small, soft French shell-shaped cookies enriched with toasted, finely ground hazelnuts and a hint of coffee creamer for subtle flavor. The batter, made with eggs, sugar, and browned butter, is chilled before baking for a tender texture. Optional dark chocolate dipped and chopped hazelnut toppings add a crunchy contrast and a rich finish to the delicate cakes.

- In another bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, and coffee mate. Add the butter, mix, and finally add the flour mixture slowly until combined
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours. This step is optional but gives the cookie more flavor.
- Use a piping bag or a spoon to fill each crevice of the Madeleine pan. Do not overfill

Notes
- Hazelnuts are toasted at 375°F for 15-20 minutes until aromatic, then rubbed in a towel to remove skins before grinding.
- Substitute the coffee creamer with 1 tablespoon of Frangelico liqueur or pure vanilla extract for alternative flavors.
