Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.
-
Unfold the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Roll it out slightly to smooth creases but avoid flattening it too much.
-
Sprinkle half of the sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the puff pastry sheet, making sure to reach the edges.
-
Fold the puff pastry from the short edges towards the center, meeting in the middle. Press down gently to seal.
-
Sprinkle the remaining sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the folded pastry.
-
Using a sharp knife, slice the pastry into 1/2-inch (1 cm) strips. Gently twist each strip a few times and place it on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart as they will expand while baking.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown and puffed up.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Serve these Elephant Ear Cookies warm with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a delightful treat.
