The madeleines have a bump because you will place the batter in the fridge and allow it to chill before you bake them. When they’re baking, steam causes them to burst a bit, leading to that small hump you’ll see.
You can make them moist and delicious by using cooled melted butter in the batter that you’ll prepare before you bake them. The pumpkin puree also adds moisture to the cookies.
Once your madeleines are cooled, you can drizzle white chocolate or frosting over the top of them. This is optional, but makes for an even more impressive treat.
Although they are classified as a cookie, these madeleines are great for breakfast time. They are perfect for dunking into coffee in the morning and make a good grab and go breakfast option.
