Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Step 2

Thaw one sheet of pastry dough according to the directions on the packaging.

Step 3

In a bowl, mix sugar and salt. Sprinkle your countertop with the sugar mixture. Place the pastry dough on top and sprinkle more sugar mixture on top of the dough.

Step 4

Roll the dough into a square of about 13×13 inches. While doing this you’ll press the sugar into the dough, from the bottom up and from the top down.

Step 5

Brush the excess of sugar off the dough, and roll one side toward the center. If you need a guide, make a small indentation in the middle, so you know what you’re aiming for.

Step 6

Roll the other side toward the center, so they meet in the middle.

Step 7

Flip the rolled pastry over and gently press together down and on the sides with your hands to form a compact roll.

Step 8

Use a sharp knife and cut the rolls into about ½-inch slices.

Step 9

Place the slices on a baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Spacing the cookies about 1.5 inches apart.

Step 10

Bake the cookies for about 6-7 minutes, the top will still be pale, but the bottom will be golden. Flip the cookies around and bake them 5-6 minutes (be careful they are very hot).

Step 11

Check regularly after you flip the Palmiers; the step from golden to over-baked comes fast.

Step 12

Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. They are crisp when they are totally cooled.
