Palmier Cookies
These were one of the first things I learned how to make in culinary school and have always had them around the Christmas time. Super easy, though I learnt how to make it from scratch then nowadays I'm too lazy to make the dough myself as the pre-made stuff is just as good.
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Preheat oven to 200c/180c fan assisted/400f/gas mark 6.
* Step 2
Make sure the dough doesn't get to warm. Remove from fridge only when ready to cook. If pastry is frozen thoroughly defrost in fridge over night. Mix the cinnamon and sugar well.
* Step 3
Then on a flat and clean surface sprinkle some of the sugar mixture, place the pastry over the sugar and roll the dough out slightly with a rolling pin.
* Step 4
Sprinkle evenly some of the sugar mixture over the dough.
* Step 5
Gently roll the pin over the dough to make as much of the sugar mixture stick as possible to the dough.
* Step 6
Brush with the melted butter and sprinkle with a pinch more sugar mixture.
* Step 7
Fold two opposite edges evenly about an 2 inches each edge.
* Step 8
Roll the pin over the pastry gently just to press the edges down.
* Step 9
Then fold in the same edges again evenly, allowing the edges to meet in the middle. Again, gently roll the pin over pastry to press it all down together.
* Step 10
Then fold together and chill the dough for 15-30 minutes in the fridge so that the butter becomes firm.
* Step 11
Cut the dough into pieces. About a centimeter thick.
* Step 12
Dip the sides into the remaining sugar. Shake any excess sugar off and place on a tray lined with a parchment sheet.
* Step 13
Place pastry approximately 2 inches apart to give them enough room to expand. I also added a drop of melted butter to each one.
* Step 14
Place tray in preheated oven. Bake for 8-12 minutes.
* Step 15
Then using a spatula turn and bake for another 2-5 minutes Or until both sides are golden brown. Times will vary across each individual oven used.
* Step 16
When done immediately transfer onto a cooling rack and leave to cool.
