MADELEINES COOKIE PAN RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Thoroughly butter and flour the madeleine pans.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla on medium speed for 3 minutes, or until light yellow and fluffy. Add 1/4 pound of butter and mix. Sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt, and stir into the batter with a rubber spatula. Stir in the coconut.
• With a soup spoon, drop the batter into the pans, filling each shell almost full. Bake the madeleines for 10 to 12 minutes, until they spring back when pressed. Tap the madeleines out onto a baking pan lined with parchment paper and allow to cool. Dust with confectioners' sugar, if desired.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Make Graham Cracker Layer: In medium bowl, combine melted butter and granulated sugar. Stir in graham cracker crumbs until moistened. Press mixture into bottom of 10-inch cast-iron skillet or 8 5-inch mini skillets. Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over graham cracker crust. Make Cookie Dough Layer: In large bowl, whisk together brown sugar and melted butter. Add vanilla, egg and egg yolk and whisk until combined. Add flour, baking powder and salt and mix until fully combined. Stir in coconut and chocolate chips. Spread cookie dough evenly over graham cracker crust. Bake just until slightly gooey in the middle but golden brown around the edges, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Serve with assorted ice creams and toppings. Topping Idea: Sweet and Spicy Candied Pecans: Line large baking sheet with parchment paper. In large heavy skillet on medium, cook pecans, sugar and water, stirring frequently, until bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes. Continue cooking and stirring until liquid evaporates and sugar crystallizes (nuts will look sandy), 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring constantly, until sugar becomes golden and syrupy, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and immediately stir in cinnamon, chili powder, cayenne and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Quickly spread nuts on prepared pan. Cool completely before breaking into clumps. Topping Idea: Miso Caramel: In small saucepan on medium-low, combine cream and butter, stirring, until melted. Whisk in miso and sugar; cook, whisking, until slightly thickened and mixture coats the back of a spoon, 6 to 8 minutes. Use right away or refrigerate and rewarm before serving. Makes 2/3 cup. Topping Idea: Maple-Roasted Strawberries: Heat oven to 350°F and line large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In large bowl, whisk maple syrup, olive oil, vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Fold in strawberries. Transfer to prepared baking sheet, arrange in single layer, and roast just until juices are thickened, 40 to 45 minutes.
