How to Make Palmiers For Valentine's Day

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Using a rolling pin, roll out the puff pastry into a large rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick.
  3. Evenly sprinkle the granulated sugar and colored sugars over the puff pastry.
  4. Gently fold the puff pastry in half lengthwise. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the dough into 1/2 inch thick slices.
  5. Shape each slice into a heart by gently pressing the top end together to create a point (similar to making a heart shape from a paper strip).
  6. Place the heart-shaped palmiers onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  8. Let the palmiers cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, you can dust them with more powdered sugar if desired.
