Since it is a new year, I thought that I should make something new, unlike anything I have ever tried before.  What I decided on was Madeleine cookies.  Madeleines are something that I have admired for a long time and had a desire to try but never have.  Once I watched a Julia Childs video about making the darling little things, but still I never ventured out to do it.  The biggest thing stopping me was that I didn’t have a pan.  I have looked a few times but could never decide whether I wanted mini madeleines or regular madeleines.  I also did not know if I should get a nonstick or regular pan.  Decisions, decisions. . . and that is why I never bought one.
