Cinnamon Elephant Ears
Ingredients:
Sugar – 1 cup divided
Pinch kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 sheet puff pastry, defrosted (recommended: Pepperidge Farm but you can choose the brand that you like)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Combine 1/2 cup of the sugar and kosher salt and pour it over a flat surface such as a wooden board or marble slab. Unfold the sheet of puff pastry onto the sugar mixture.
Combine 12 cup of the sugar and the cinnamon and spread it evenly on the puff pastry. This is not about sprinkling; it’s about an even covering of sugar. With a rolling pin, lightly roll the dough until it’s a 13-inch square and the sugar is pressed into the puff pastry on top and bottom. Fold the sides of the square toward the centre so they go halfway to the middle. Fold them again so the two folds meet exactly at the middle of the dough. Then fold one half over the other half as though closing a book. You will have 6 layers. Slice the dough into 38-inch slices and place the slices, cut side up, on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
Bake the cookies for 6 minutes or until caramelized and brown on the bottom, then turn with a spatula and bake for another 3 to 5 minutes, until caramelized on the other side. Transfer to a baking rack to cool.
