Preheat oven to 350^oF (175^oC). Prepare two silicon madeleine molds.
Melt butter in the microwave and allow to cool to room temperature while making the batter.
In the mixing bowl, sift flour and baking powder. Set aside.
In the large bowl, add sugar and eggs. Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract and whisk again until combined.
Add flour mixture and gently mix on low speed. Then add melted butter and incorporate completely.
Transfer batter into a piping bag and fill madeleine form until almost full. You can also use a spoon to fill each cavity of the mold.
Bake at 350^oF (175^oC) for 12-14 minutes or until madeleins are golden brown.
Allow the Madeleins to cool for a few minutes, then gently remove them from the molds and let them cool on the cooling rack.

Wash and dry molds.
Place chocolate melts in the pipping bag and melt them in the microwave using 20-second intervals.
Pipe chocolate into the mold cavities, place madeleines on top, and press gently down.
Place molds into the freezer for 5 minutes for a quick setup. After that, remove the cookies from the mold and enjoy.

This recipe makes 27 cookies. You can bake one or two trays at a time. While you are baking, leave the rest of the batter in the piping bag.
