palmiers!

I decided that, as I'm leaving for school again soon, I should try to make a dessert before I take my cooking hiatus. I decided to try a super easy recipe to start out with: palmiers (cinnamon cookies). Recipe:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon in bowl. Sprinkle work surface with some of the sugar mixture.
• Open up 1 thawed frozen puff pastry sheet, roll with rolling pin to close cracks. Spread 2 tbs sugar mixture over sheet, roll over to press sugar into dough.
  
• Flip sheet over, spread 2 tbs sugar mixture, roll.
• Fold ends to first fold line, fold again so 2 folds meet at middle, fold once more to form log.
• Cut log into inches about 1/4 inch thick. Dip cut edges into sugar mixture, place that side down onto baking sheet. Place cookies at least 2 inches from edge of baking sheet, 1-2 inches from other cookies. Sprinkle remaining sugar mixture onto tops of cookies as desired.
• Bake in oven for 8-11 minutes, cool on wire rack, serve!

So. Lay puff pastry, cover with sugar, fold, cut, more sugar, bake. Easy peasy.

Nom nom nom nom...



edit: I made these again the next night and discovered that I folded the dough incorrectly the first time. Instead of W's, they should look like hearts. I actually liked them more the first way I folded them. Whatever.
