Raw Vegan Madeleine Cookies

A raw vegan take on a classic cookie hailing from France. Madeleine Cookies are actually small sponge-like cakes baked within molds shaped like shells. They’re popular in France, where they are made with (of course!) lots of flour, butter and sugar. This version is made with grain-free and paleo-friendly coconut flour for a fluffy, cake-like texture without the gluten. They are so easy to make; no baking required! Enjoy one with your next cup of tea.
