Description
Cinnamon Sugar Palmiers are simple, elegant cookies made from puff pastry. They have a sweet, crispy texture and a warm cinnamon flavor, perfect for any occasion. This recipe requires only two main ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
- Unfold one sheet of puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle about half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the pastry, pressing it down gently with your hands or a rolling pin.
- Fold the two longer sides of the pastry towards the center, meeting in the middle. Then, fold each side in half again, as if you were closing a book. You should have a long, layered strip.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the pastry strip into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- Place the slices cut-side up onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between them.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and caramelized.
- Carefully flip the palmiers and bake for another 5-7 minutes, until the other side is also golden brown and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry.
Notes
- Ensure your puff pastry is fully thawed but still cold for best results.
- For extra crispiness, you can bake them a bit longer, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
