Mint Chocolate Madeleines

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a 12-cup madeleine pan and dust with confectioner's sugar.

   Tip: For best results, use a non-stick pan.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, confectioner's sugar, baking powder, and salt.

   Tip: Sift the dry ingredients to remove lumps.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time.

   Tip: Use an electric mixer for this step.

4. 4

   Add the mint extract and mix until combined. Stir in the dried mint leaves and dark chocolate chips.

   Tip: Don't overmix the batter.

5. 5

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat just until combined.

   Tip: Don't overmix the batter.

6. 6

   Pour the batter into the prepared madeleine pan. Smooth the tops and tap the pan gently to remove any air bubbles.

   Tip: Make sure the batter is evenly distributed.

7. 7

   Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly tender.

   Tip: Don't overbake the madeleines.

8. 8

   Remove the madeleines from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

   Tip: Serve the madeleines warm or at room temperature.
