Ingredients
- 1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Lightly flour your work surface and unroll the crescent roll dough, keeping it in a single rectangular sheet. Pinch the perforated seams together to form a smooth surface.
Step 3
Brush the melted butter evenly over the dough.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the buttered dough, covering the entire surface.
Step 5
Gently fold one long edge of the dough toward the center, stopping halfway. Repeat the same fold with the other long edge so both meet in the middle.
Step 6
Fold the dough again along the center seam to form a log shape. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to make slicing easier.
Step 7
Remove the chilled dough from the fridge and cut it into 1/2-inch slices. Arrange the slices on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each piece.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the palmiers are golden brown and puffed up.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy as a sweet treat or share with friends and family!
