EASY French Hearts

Course Dessert
Author Sarah Mir

Ingredients

  • 2 sheets ready rolled puff pastry (10 inches square roughly) - 450g thawed

Sugar Mix

  • 1 tsp Orange Zest (optional) see notes for alternatives
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ⅛ tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper
  • Unroll your puff pastry sheet and scatter roughly ⅓ cup or an even layer of sugar over it
  • Gently mark the halfway line on your sheet and roll one edge inwards, loosely coiling it in until you are close to that line. Repeat with the other side
  • If your puff pastry is still cold and firm then start slicing it into 1 cm slices and arrange the cookies on your prepped sheet about an inch apart
  • Scatter a little more sugar over top and bake them for 5-6 minutes then flip them over and bake for another 3-4 more until caramelly golden.
  • Repeat until your dough is used up and cool completely before eating. Keep well in an air tight box for a week.

Notes

If orange flavor is not your thing add ½ tsp cinnamon or ½ tsp cardamom to your sugar for a different flavour or leave them plain!
