Recipe Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sugar:<\/strong> Raw sugar is what I used for this French cookie recipe. It caramelizes and creates the signature crunchy shell. You can also use demerara sugar or regular granulated sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puff pastry<\/strong> is your shortcut to happiness. Use store-bought puff pastry to keep things easy. If you\u2019re in the mood, homemade puff pastry absolutely works too.  Winter months are great to make puff pastry at home and try puff pastry apple donuts,<\/a> or this easy chocolate puff pastry braid,<\/a> or cranberry brie puff pastry bites.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filling<\/strong>: Cinnamon is optional, but I highly recommend it because classic cinnamon sugar palmiers are just delicious. <\/em>You can, of course, skip the cinnamon or make:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
