Madeleine cookies with lavender honey are an exquisite dessert of French cuisine that captivates with their delicate texture and refined aroma. Legend has it that madeleines appeared in the 18th century in the Lorraine region and quickly won the hearts of gourmets. The addition of lavender honey gives the classic recipe a subtle floral note that harmonizes with almond flour and airy egg whites. These little shells are easy to prepare: the dough is mixed with melted butter and baked until golden brown. They are served warm, with a cup of tea or coffee, enjoying their refined sweetness. The lavender notes make these cookies perfect for cozy evenings and elegant tea parties.
