Palmier are sugar cookies made from puff pastry which have a really nice flaky, buttery, and caramel sugar flavor. They are really easy to make and are a lighter and more elegant dessert snack than a typical cookie. I am making this batch with cinnamon but they are just as good without it
Recipe Details:
- 1 sheet of puff pastery
- ~1/2 cup of sugar
- ~1 TBS of cinnamon
Process Details:
- Thaw frozen puff pastry
- Roll puff pastry out maybe 25% larger than original proportions
- Add half the sugar to the top and use rolling pin to press this into the dough
- Flip the dough and add the other half of the sugar - using the rolling pin again to press this into the dough
- Add the cinnamon
- Then fold or roll each half of the dough up at each end until it meets in the middle to form a log shape
- Move the dough log to the fridge for 30 min which will make the next step easier
- Cut the dough into 1/4 inch cookies
- Place the cookies on a parchment lined cookie pan
- Cook in a 425 F oven. Flip after 8 min and then cook for another 8 min
- Let the cookies cool before eating. They cool to a crunch texture with caramelized/burnt sugar being part of the flavor component
