Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease your madeleine pans.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix the melted butter and sugar until combined, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared madeleine pans, filling each mold about 3/4 full.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  2. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before gently turning them out onto a wire rack.
Serving
  1. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Chill the batter for 30 minutes for taller madeleines. For richer flavor, substitute half the flour with cocoa powder. Don't skip the powdered sugar dusting for a cute touch!
