Palmiers recipe

Sometimes there is nothing better than a simple cookie like Palmiers. They look so elegant and special that they would be perfect for valentines day.

I want to share this recipe with you because they are one of my favorite childhood sweet treats. So it brings wonderfull memories each bite I take. I eat them with coffee or tea while Mathieu takes his afternoon nap {it is the best time to take a little Mom break during the day ;-)}.

Oh! and the best part ? you can prepare them in advance and place them in the freezer for a quick just baked treat!

I hope you like them!

Let's begin :-)

Ingredients: {for 18 cookies} one Palmier is about 63 calories

- 1/4 of a cup of sugar
- 1 sheet of puff pastry

Preheat oven to 450F

 Pour half of the sugar on a flat surface.

 Place the sheet of puff pastry over the sugar, sprinkle the remaining sugar and spread evenly with a rolling pin so the sugar is pressed into the dough.

Fold the sides of the dough toward the center so they go halfway to the middle.

fold the sides one more time.

Then fold one half over the other, closing just like a book.

Slice.

Arrange them on baking sheet. and bake for 6 minutes or until caramelized and brown on the bottom.

Meanwhile... lol

This is what they look like when it is time to turn them.

What they look like turned. Bake for another 3 to 4 minutes.

There are so many way to cook these but you could add some apricot spread or anything your heart desire at this point. as long as it spreads you are ok! 

and they are done! They look shiny, light, and delicious... {can't wait until the eating part!}

Transfer to a baking rack to cool.

Enjoy!
