Cinnamon Sugar Palmiers
These Cinnamon Sugar Palmiers are a cross between a classic French cookie and a churro! Light and flaky, these cookies are so easy to make!
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry thawed
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt reduce by half if using table salt
- 1/4 cup turbinado sugar
- 2 tbsp All Purpose Flour as needed for rolling out dough
Instructions
- Thaw puff pastry according to package directions. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Melt butter and whisk together with brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
- Roll out sheets of dough, one at a time, on a lightly floured surface to a large rectangle approximately 12 inches by 18 inches. Spread half of butter mixture onto each sheet of rolled out dough. Roll long sides of dough into middle on each side forming a heart shape. Then gently slice, using a sawing motion as to not press down and squish dough, into 1/2 inch thick cookies.
- As needed, reshape slices into hearts on parchment lined baking sheets. Place entire baking sheet into fridge for 20 minutes (or freeze see notes) to chill. Preheat oven to 375℉. Sprinkle tops of cookies with turbinado sugar before baking. Bake chilled cookies for 20-25 minutes until puffed and edges are just slightly golden brown. Let cookies rest for 5 minutes on baking sheet before transferring to wire rack to cool completely. Store covered for up to a week.
Notes
After slicing cookies, partially freeze them on the baking sheet or another freezer safe tray until outsides are cold enough to not stick together. Then transfer to plastic ziptop bag or other freeze safe container. Thaw for 10 minutes then bake as normal.
