May 2022 Sallyโ€™s Baking Challenge Recipe: Brown Butter Berry Tea Cakes. These little cakelets were a popular recipe in May! Many participants baked them for Motherโ€™s Day and afternoon tea, some for bake sales and bridal showers, or just a special treat after dinner. A lot of readers loved this unique spin on a classic madeleine cookie, something you may not have ever made or tasted before!

        These were very fun to make with my 6 year old. She loved rolling the peanut butter and cookie balls!

        The cookies were very rich with the chocolate and peanut butter. Everyone enjoyed them.

        What a great recipe! I accidentally made a double batch. (donโ€™t ask how this happens) I took some to a friend and when I babysat the next day, I had some very picky children declare them delicious and best ever! Thanks for another great one!

        Peanut Butter filled brownie cookies were fun to see how the marbling turned out. Espresso powder gave some flavor.
