Cocoa Palmiers Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Combine the sugar and kosher salt. Pour 1 cup of the sugar/salt mixture on a flat surface such as wooden board or marble. Unfold each sheet of puff pastry onto the sugar and pour 1/2 cup of the sugar mixture on top, spreading it evenly on the puff pastry. This is not about sprinkling, it's about an even covering of sugar. With a rolling pin, roll the dough until it's 13 by 13-inches square and the sugar is pressed into the puff pastry on top and bottom. Fold the sides of the square towards the center so they go halfway to the middle. Fold them again so the two folds meet exactly at the middle of the dough. Then fold 1 half over the other half as though closing a book. You will have 6 layers. Slice the dough into 3/8-inch slices and place the slices, cut side up, on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Place the second sheet of pastry on the sugared board, sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar mixture, and continue as above. (There will be quite a bit of sugar left over on the board.) Slice and arrange on baking sheets lined with parchment.
• Bake the cookies for 6 minutes until caramelized and brown on the bottom, then turn with a spatula and bake another 3 to 5 minutes, until caramelized on the other side. Transfer to a baking rack to cool.

Steps:

• 1. preheat the oven to 400°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt the butter in a small pan over low heat. Add the chocolate and stir until smooth. Set aside to cool. Dust a work surface with powdered sugar and place the pastry on top. Roll out into a 12 x 10" rectangle. Trim the pastry so that the edges are straight
• 2. Fold the pastry in half lengthwise to mark the center and unfold again, leaving a mark down the middle. When the chocolate mixture is thick and cool, pour it onto the pastry, working quickly so that it doesn't set. Use a spatula to spread the chocolate evenly over the pastry. It is important that the chocolate mix is not too thick as it will run out during cooking. Sift the cocoa over the top.
• 3. Begin to roll the sides of the pastry rectangle to the middle, where the mark is. Repeat for the other end, until it meets the already rolled half. Roll carefully in the remaining powdered sugar and transfer to a plate. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. When firm, cut across the rolls in 1/4 inch thick slices. Place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 1 inch apart. Bake until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Place on wire racks and let cool completely. Serves 8 to 10

Steps:

• Lay the puff pastry out on a lightly floured surface and roll out to a 12-inch by 14-inch (30 cm by 35 cm) rectangle.
• Use a spatula to spread the chocolate hazelnut spread over the pastry, leaving a ¼-inch (6 mm) border of uncovered pastry.
• Roll each side of the sheet inward to meet in the middle.
• Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C). Grease a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
• Use a sharp knife to cut the roll into fourteen ¼-inch (6 mm) thick slices.
• Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and brush with egg wash.
• Bake for 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Sprinkle a flat work surface with 1/4 cup sugar; unfold puff pastry over sugar and roll out to a 15x10-inch rectangle. Brush pastry with butter. Mix 1/3 cup sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom in a small bowl; sprinkle evenly over buttered pastry.
• Starting with a long edge of the pastry, roll pastry tightly around filling, stopping in the middle. Repeat with the opposite edge, meeting the first roll. Put a little water onto your finger and dot along the long edges that come together; press gently so the two rolled edges stay together. Refrigerate until slightly firm, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cut pastry into 1/4-inch slices. Arrange slices on prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden and crisp, about 12 minutes. Allow cookies to rest on baking sheet for 1 minute before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
