They're soft, spongy, lightly sweet, and almost always delicious. And in this case, they're lemontastic, too.
Like their punkinny predecessors, these cookies flaunt an amazing mouthfeel. There's a melt-in-your-mouth quality, texture-wise. Absolutely no complaints there. We even consumed ours a few days past the best by date, and they were still perfectly soft and scrumptious. Miraculously, they didn't burst to life with mold growth or anything like that, either, despite the summer heat.
Flavor-wise, again, no complaints. Lemon lends itself to any white cake or sponge cake type application in my opinion. These cookies are no exception. If anything, that's my biggest complaint: I'd apply even more lemonosity. If they were absolutely dripping with tart, tangy real lemon juice, it couldn't have hurt the flavor.
About three bucks for six cookies. Each cookie is two or three bites, I'd say, depending upon how big your bites are, of course. From the moment the package was open, the cookies lasted about 90 seconds between me and the beautiful wifey.
Some years ago, there was a moment when we thought Sonia might be pregnant. I'm not sure if the cookies had anything to do with it subconsciously, but we both agreed that if it turned out to be a girl that we'd name her Madeleine. Alas, it was not to be in this lifetime.
Will buy again. Four and a half stars from Sonia. Four from me.
Bottom line: 8.5 out of 10.

I loooove madeleines. Kinda pricey, though. I've probably gotten too used to cheap crap. (Dollar Tree snacks rule.) One of these days I'll have to learn to make them.
ReplyDeleteWe love Dollar Tree snacks, too :)
Delete@halcyon....When something seems pricey to me I break it down to its individual cost to see if it's worth it. Hence, each Madeleine would be 50 cents. Looking at it that way it will be on the shopping list.
