Trader Joe's is now offering one of the most famous French cookies in a gluten-free format.
For those unfamiliar, Madeleines are delicate little cakes from the Lorraine region in northeastern France. The little cakes are best known for their shell-shaped depressions, which give them a delicate seashell-like design. Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Madeleine Cookies follow this tradition with some cake-like cookies made by a bakery partner in France. This supplier manages to find the perfect ratio of gluten-free flours to give the cookies that light and airy texture you'd expect while still delivering a slightly sweet flavor.
Best paired with a bold cup of coffee or milky tea, the new Gluten Free Madeleine Cookies will be a welcome addition to any dessert plate or mid-day tea.
