Cinnamon Palmiers

Recipe View Gather all ingredients. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View In a small bowl, thoroughly combine 1/3 cup sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

Recipe View Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup sugar evenly onto a clean work surface. Unfold the thawed puff pastry and place it over the sugar. Roll out the pastry to approximately a 10x15-inch rectangle, pressing it into the sugar. Brush the pastry with melted butter, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

Recipe View Starting with one long edge, tightly roll the pastry around the filling, stopping at the center of the rectangle. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

Recipe View Repeat the process with the opposite long edge, rolling towards the center to meet the first roll. Moisten your finger with water and lightly dab along the long edges where the two rolls meet to seal them. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

Recipe View Wrap the roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until slightly firm, about 5 to 10 minutes. This will make slicing easier. (Chill time: 5-10 minutes)

Recipe View While the pastry chills, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

Recipe View Remove the chilled pastry from the refrigerator and slice it into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place the slices 1 inch apart onto the prepared baking sheet. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven until the palmiers are golden and crisp, approximately 12 minutes. (Bake time: 12 minutes)

Recipe View Allow the palmiers to rest briefly on the baking sheet before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy! (Cooling time: 15 minutes)
