Description
These Palmiers are light, crunchy, swirled treats you can easily make in under 30 minutes. With a buttery puff pastry covered in sweet caramelized sugar, these cookies have a delightful balance of flavor and texture in every bite. It’s made with only two ingredients, so I’m pretty sure it's the easiest cookie recipe you'll ever make!
Ingredients
- 1 cup coarse cane sugar or turbinado sugar (approximately)
- 1 (245 grams or 8.65 ounces) puff pastry sheet (245g or 8.65oz), thawed in fridge
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425F. Prepare 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- On a clean work surface, sprinkle about ½ cup sugar across the work surface, then unfold your puff pastry onto the work surface. Using a rolling pin, roll the puff pastry out to be about a 14x14-inch rectangle.
- Generously sprinkle the top of the rolled out puff pastry with the remaining sugar, lightly press the sugar into the puff pastry.
- Fold the sides in about halfway towards the middle, then fold again until the two sides meet each other. Then finally, fold the one side on top of the other side.
- Using a sharp knife, slice into ¾-inch slices and divide the cookies evenly onto the two baking sheets, placing them cut side up. Place the baking sheets into the freezer for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, remove the sheets from the freezer, then place into the oven to bake for 14-16 minutes, flipping the cookies over halfway through.
- Remove the cookies from the oven, transfer to a cooling rack and allow the cookies to fully cool before enjoying.
Notes
How to store: Store the palmiers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. I don’t recommend keeping them in the fridge as they will come out sticky.
How to freeze: Baked palmiers do not freeze well. You can however freeze the cut dough before baking. Place on a lined baking sheet and freeze for 1-2 hours until hard. Then transfer to a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, allow it to thaw overnight in the fridge first.
