Sometimes I just want a quick cookie.

Something simple, yet flashy, with very little work on my part.
A quick rendezvous in the kitchen with near instant cookie gratification.
The answer to this cookie conundrum is the palmier, or elephant ear cookie.

A simple French classic, and even though it’s French don’t let that scare you.
Puff pastry and sugar.
Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of sugar over your workstation.

Roll out the puff pastry to about 10X12 inches.
Sprinkle another 1/4 cup of sugar (and spices if using) over the dough.
Roll up the left vertical side inward, stopping in the middle of the dough.
Roll up the right side of the dough.
The two rolls should be meeting at the middle and touching.
Press the two sides together gently.
Repeat with any more puff pastry you may have.
Starting at one end, cut off pieces of the log, in slices about 1/2 inch in thickness.
Lightly sprinkle sugar onto each side.
Pinch and press the sides of the two rolls together to ensure that they don’t unroll during baking.
Set the tray in the middle of the oven.
Bake at 400F for about 10-15 minutes or until the sugar has caramelized.
Allow them to cool on a rack for 10 minutes.
