Palmier Cookies

October 27, 2021 By Yummiest Food Leave a Comment

Palmier Cookies are light and flaky Puff Pastry dessert coated with sugar and baked until golden crispy creating! So delicious with only 2 ingredients!

Palmier Cookies Recipe

Palmiers, Elephant Ears, French Hearts, Palm Leaves: whatever you like to call them, these cookies are in the running for my all-time favorite treat.

What are Palmier Cookies?

Palmier Cookies are light, airy, sugar sprinkled cookies that only require two ingredients.

You only need puff pastry and sugar. Nothing fancy is required, no special tools at all.

How to Make Palmier Cookies?

Classically, palmiers are made by folding the left and right sides of the pastry to the middle, then folding the dough in half again length-wise, sandwiching the first folds inside. Sliced into individual cookies, this is what gives the palmiers their distinctive “palm” or elephant-ear shape.

Sugar-filled palmiers are classic, but you can mix cinnamon or other baking spices with the sugar, or add minced pieces of crystallized ginger or lemon peel. Dried, chopped fruits, like currants or cranberries, could also make their way into these cookies.

Once you make these Palmiers cookies your whole family is going to want you to make them all the time.

I just love the crunch of the sugar with the crunch of the pastry and the way the flaky, buttery layers practically melt on the tongue. It feels so fancy to put them on a cookie tray for a spot of afternoon tea. Enjoy!
