Madelines: A Love Story

Once upon a time there was a lovely orange and a rich bar of dark chocolate.

A girl noticed them and she knew they needed to be together.

So the girl gathered the following ingredients...

 

She mixed the sugar, eggs and butter until it was light and fluffy...

...and added flour and orange zest. 

She spooned about 1 tbsp. of the sweet mixture into each tiny madeline mold...

...and 10 minutes later her whole home smelled like oranges.

She could have stopped there...

...but she's no quitter.

 

She broke off a square of Theo chocolate, gobbled it up and melted the rest ...

...and dipped each cookie in.

 

All because a lovely orange and a rich bar of chocolate needed to be together.

The end.

Chocolate Orange Madelines

1/3 cup sugar

2 eggs

4 tablespoons salted butter (you'll need an additional 2 tablespoons for buttering the tray)

1 tablespoon organic orange zest (organic so you don't eat the pesticides and wax on the skin)

1/2 cup flour

1 bar Theo Orange Dark Chocolate

• Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees 
• generously grease each madeline mold with butter. 
• wisk eggs, sugar and butter together until fluffy and creamy
• add flour and orange zest and mix until just combined
• divide batter between molds and bake for 9-11 minutes
• invert pan and let the cookies cool for 5 minutes
• while cookies are cooling melt chocolate being very careful not to burn. ( I would suggest starting with thirty seconds and then checking and stirring every 15 seconds.)
• Once the cookies are cool dip them head first into chocolate. 
• Place the dipped cookies on a plate covered in wax paper and let chocolate harden in fridge 5 minutes.

You can find Theo Chocolate, Vegan Fair Trade sugar and incredible locally grown organic oranges at most Whole Foods Markets
