These Palmiers Cookies (a.k.a. Elephant Ears) are so light and crisp, and super easy! It takes just 3 ingredients to make these classic French pastries if you buy pre-made puff pastry. Serve as a dessert or to enjoy paired with coffee or tea.
Classic French Palmiers (pal-me-ay) are such a fun and unexpected treat, and they are simple to make using puff pastry and white sugar that caramelizes to give the pastry a sweet crunch. You may see them called “Elephant Ears,” “Pig Ears,” “French Hearts,” or “Palm Leaves” for their beautiful shape, as you can see in my photo–they have a lovely presentation.
