Madeleines au chocolat

Today I was in the mood for something chocolatey, easy and of course, French! I searched my Pintrest board and checked to see what ingredients I had before I finally settled on Chocolate Madeleines. I found an English recipe so I had to do some converting of measurements so after a little research, here is what I got:

Ingredients:
1 3/4 sticks of butter, melted
1 1/2 c of flour (possibly a bit more)
~1 c sugar (slightly less)
4 eggs
2 T cocoa powder
2 t baking powder

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350ºF

In an electric mixer, mix together the eggs and the sugar.

Add in flour, cocoa powder and baking powder. Mis together.

Lastly, mix in the melted butter.

In a greased Madeleine tray, spoon in the batter. The batter should be thick. Fill the molds 3/4 of the way full, they will expand and rise.

Bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the middle is baked through.

They are best eaten the day of. They will save for up to 2-3 days but must be stored in an air-tight container.
