Pecan Madeleines: this recipe uses browed butter, chopped pecans, and brown sugar for the perfect nutty flavour.

Pecan MadeleinesFor our recent Fall Tea Party we thought it would be nice to include some Pecan Madeleines -read all about the fall tea party here.  

Fall tea party treats, cookies and tea pot.

Madeleines are the lovliest little cake like cookie.  They’re perfect with a cup of tea.  And with the addition of browned butter, brown sugar, and pecans these seem just right for fall.

I’m sharing this recipe as part of the Seasonal Simplicity Fall Series, and there are lots more fall recipes at the end of this post from my blogging friends so be sure to have a look at them and get inspired for fall.

My youngest daughter, who loves to bake, is named Madeline.  I remember buying Madeleines for the get together after her baby dedication.  They just seem like the perfect cookie for her.

Pecan Madeleines

Recently when we were doing a little shopping on vacation we found a Madeleine pan at a little kitchen shop and decided we should buy it and try out some Madeleine recipes.  I say we, but it was really Maddie.  She read up all about them, and started experimenting. 

Pecan Madeleines and powdered sugar.

She developed this recipe herself and made these, and they are so delicious.  When they are fresh they have the perfect slightly crunchy outside, and soft inside.  They’re not overly sweet, and the pecans add a great flavour and little bit of crunch -perfect for fall.  A Madeleine and a cup of tea is a match made in heaven.

We’ll likely share a few more Madeleine recipes with different combinations and add-ins, but this is my favourite so far that she’s created.

Instagram post 2195492363661344441_202589158 Yesterday I worked on creating this rustic Christmas tablescape. It turned out so well and every time I walked by, it had me looking forward to Christmas dinner.  The new plates are from Target... a Christmas present so I should be ok using them Christmas Day. ;) The napkins from @cuddlesomecotton are my new favourite and those thrifted vintage brass napkins ring -a reason to keep on thrifting!  Have you thought about your Christmas table yet?
Instagram post 2194773810373113328_202589158 Our basement living room is all decorated for Christmas. I used a little colour in this space year and it’s feeling so joyful and happy. There’s a full tour over on the blog today.
Instagram post 2194048730789601504_202589158 Our bedroom is all decorated for a cozy Christmas and there’s a full tour of it up on the blog today. There’s just something about that Christmas tree glow in your bedroom at night that’s pretty magical. ✨✨✨
Instagram post 2193321229457068731_202589158 Today on the blog and in stories I’m sharing some amazing charitable gift ideas like this one. Make a donation through @mccpeace to help plant cocao trees in a developing country and help change lives forever. We baked some of our Easy One Bowl Brownies and added this sweet gift tag that’s available for free download on the blog. Check it out along with three more fun charitable hostess gift ideas and free gift tags. Instead of more junk that no one really needs this Christmas how about giving something that can really make a difference long after the holidays are done.
