Palmiers

Palmier's (Pahlm-YAY) or "Madonna Bra's" ( the alternative name created by Becky) are a french cookie made out of puff pastry and rolled in sugar and folded to resemble palm leaves and baked until the sugar caramelizes. So good, crispy buttery sugary goodness. Could there be anything better? I learned a few things while making these cookies, 1. DON'T USE WAX PAPER!! The caramelized sugar sticks to it within a matter of seconds, it's sticky business.. 2. Always flatten the Palmier's so they don't turn into "Madonna Bra's" I used the palm of my hand.

3. They taste amazing with the Cinnamon , and when they are warm.... This was a fun learning experience, it was very rewarding (In the sense that I ate all of the reject cookies, I just couldn't resist.)

ingredients:

1 box puff pastry

1 cup sugar (Divided into a 1/4 cup for each side of the puff pastry)

2 tablespoons cinnamon

Directions:

On a cutting board sprinkle a 1/4 cup of sugar equally across the board and lay one sheet of puff pastry on the board and sprinkle the top of the puff pastry with a 1/4 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. Using a rolling pin, roll the puff pastry out as far as it with stretch without it being to thin. Roll one side up to the middle and then roll the other side to the middle.

Cut the roll into small pieces and then flatten with the palm of your hand.

Repeat for the other piece of puff pastry. Generously grease a metal sheet pan and lay them 2 inches apart (they don't spread very much.)

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and bake them for 5 minutes ( If they don't cook just keep setting the timer for 2 more minutes, they will burn in a matter of minutes so stay close for these. )

ENJOY!
