Pumpkin Madeleines have a subtle cinnamon and pumpkin flavor, while still delivering the sweet and buttery taste of the classic Madeleine cookies.

I love making easy and delicate pumpkin desserts during the fall seasons, like my popular Pumpkin Poke Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting, Pumpkin White Chocolate Fudge and Pumpkin Pound Cake.

Pumpkin Madeleines Recipe Tips

Every time I go to Starbucks to get my vanilla latte fix, I grab a handful of Madeleine’s. Because they are pretty, have a buttery taste and soft texture, they are simply irresistible! Also, these Pumpkin Madeleines are incredibly easy to make. In just under 30 minutes from start to finish, you will have the most gorgeous Madeleines to enjoy!

These originally French cookies just got so much better, with a subtle pumpkin flavor that adds a nice orange color and some cinnamon to enhance their fall flavor. These Pumpkin Madeleines would be perfect served with some spiced tea or enjoyed with a classic pumpkin latte that we will soon start seeing everywhere.

Also, I topped some of them with cinnamon and powdered sugar, others just with powdered sugar, and the rest got a coating of cinnamon cream cheese frosting, and those were my favorite.

I love how the pumpkin slightly changed the texture of these cookies, they became denser, but still maintained their softness and tender crumb. These Pumpkin Madeleines covered in that cinnamon cream cheese frosting are the perfect afternoon treat.

What is a Madeleine?

Madeleine is a traditional small cake typically baked in a shell-shaped mold which originates from France. They are often decorated with coconut, cinnamon cream and jam, and are extremely delicious!

What is pumpkin puree vs canned pumpkin?

Canned pumpkin is just cooked, pureed pumpkin. Canned pumpkin or pumpkin pie filling is flavored with spices like cinnamon, clove, allspice and ginger, and is also sweetened.

How do you freeze Madeleine?

The Madeleines can be frozen for up to 2-3 months. Before freezing the Madeleine, do not dust them with sugar until you are about to serve. Store them in airtight container and freeze them in a double wrapping of plastic wrap for several months.
