The madeleine is a typical dessert of the town of Commercy, in the northeast of France. The original recipe calls for a considerable amount of butter, in this my version I decided to exclude gluten, dairy products and much of the sugar, these soft cookies are lighter, less sweet but still delicious. I suggest four ways to enjoy them, to the natural, covered with coconut or nuts or glazed with chocolate.
