Palmiers
Cook Time 1 hr 30 min | Makes 1 dozen cookies
Ingredients
1 sheet all-butter puff pastry (10 ½ ounces), thawed
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cardamom (optional)
How to Make It
Mix sugar and cardamom together. Sprinkle counter with surface with half of sugar mixture in the shape of a large rectangle.
Unfold the pastry and place it over the sugar. Sprinkle the top with the remaining sugar. Use a rolling pin to lightly press the sugar into the dough and smooth it out.
Roll the short side of the dough in towards the middle, making it as tight as possible. Roll the other side in towards the middle. Press the two rolls of dough together lightly and place the rolled dough on a parchment lined baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Remove the rolled dough from the refrigerator and place on a cutting surface. Trim off both ends of the dough and discard. Slice the dough into 1/2-inch wide cookies. Place the palmiers a few inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the edges of each cookie are a dark golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely and then store in an airtight container.
