Easy Palmier Cookies

Steps

1. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl.
2. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon sugar on a work surface and unfold the puff pastry on top.
3. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of the sugar mixture evenly over the pastry and gently press it in with a rolling pin.
4. Flip the dough over and repeat with another 1/4 cup of sugar, pressing it in with the rolling pin.
5. Fold both long sides of the dough a quarter inward toward the center, then fold again so the two sides meet in the middle, leaving a 1/4 inch gap.
6. Fold one half over the other to form a log.
7. Chill the log in the fridge for 15 minutes.
8. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
9. Slice the log into 1/3 inch (1 cm) thick pieces.
10. Toss each slice in the remaining cinnamon sugar to coat both sides.
11. Place the slices cut-side up on the baking sheet, spaced apart, and slightly open each cookie's 'ears'.
12. Bake for 14-15 minutes, flipping the cookies halfway through, until golden brown and caramelized.
13. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely before serving.
