Equipment
- Rolling Pin
- Baking tray
- Parchment Paper
- Sharp knife or pizza cutter
- Oven
Ingredients
• 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
• Melted chocolate for dipping (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven and line a baking tray with parchment paper, then prepare a clean surface by sprinkling sugar evenly.
2. Roll the puff pastry sheet gently on the sugared surface to spread it evenly and help the sugar stick well.
3. Sprinkle extra sugar on top and press it gently so it sticks evenly to the surface.
4. Fold both sides of the pastry toward the center, then fold again to form a tight log shape.
5. Slice the log into equal pieces and place them flat on the prepared tray, leaving space between each.
6. Bake until the cookies turn golden and caramelized, flipping them halfway for even baking.
7. Let them cool slightly before serving so they become crisp and perfectly textured.
Notes
- Always keep the puff pastry cold to maintain clean layers and shape.
- Do not over-handle the dough as it can affect the flaky texture.
- Use enough sugar to achieve a proper caramelized coating.
- Watch closely while baking to prevent burning.
- Flip the cookies midway for even color and crispness.
- Allow cookies to cool completely for the best crunch.
