Madeleine cookies originated from the Liverdun and Commercy region of France as far back as the late 1700s. These cookies are traditionally served with tea or coffee, these exquisite tea cakes are made with simple ingredients, with variations including lemon or lime zest, honey and even maple.
Legend is that the pilgrims moving through that era would wear shells as the symbol of St. James, and thus the shell shape of madeleines was born.
These keto madeleine cakes are with almond flour and are still traditional madeleine cookies yet gluten free.
