Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (1 stick), melted and cooled unsalted butter
  • ½ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush a madeleine pan with melted butter or nonstick spray; set aside.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together the 1 cup flour, 0.5 teaspoon baking powder, and 0.25 teaspoon salt.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, beat the 2 eggs and 0.5 cup sugar with an electric mixer until pale and thick, about 3 minutes. Beat in the 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture until just combined. Fold in the 0.5 cup melted butter and 0.5 cup chocolate chips until just incorporated; do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, filling each mold about 3/4 full. Bake until the edges are golden and the tops spring back when touched, 10-12 minutes.

  6. 6

    Let cool in the pan for 2 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
