Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush a madeleine pan with melted butter or nonstick spray; set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the 1 cup flour, 0.5 teaspoon baking powder, and 0.25 teaspoon salt.
Step 3
In a large bowl, beat the 2 eggs and 0.5 cup sugar with an electric mixer until pale and thick, about 3 minutes. Beat in the 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Step 4
Fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture until just combined. Fold in the 0.5 cup melted butter and 0.5 cup chocolate chips until just incorporated; do not overmix.
Step 5
Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, filling each mold about 3/4 full. Bake until the edges are golden and the tops spring back when touched, 10-12 minutes.
Step 6
Let cool in the pan for 2 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
