Fussiest Cookies Ever!

And the award goes to...palmiers! They are well worth the trouble though! I made a batch of puff pastry earlier in the week for crafty fun night and I've always wanted to try these. You roll out a piece of dough on the counter with regular white sugar until it's an 1/8" thick rectangularish shape. Roll up both long ends into a tight double spiral and slice 3/8" thick. Press them onto an ungreased pan with the palm of your hand and chill while you preheat your oven to 425 degrees.

Bake them for about 10 minutes and they become THIS! The mashed in sugar and the folded in butter melt together and become this delicate covering of caramel over a buttery puffed bite. You must watch them very closely as they can very quickly burn. Did I mention they were worth the trouble? Num num.
