These Cinnamon Sugar Palmiers are the perfect treat to accompany your morning coffee and are easily made from pastry dough and a cinnamon-sugar combination. Make these and you’ll make any breakfast a little more special.
When I first decided to do these, I was SO surprised at how easy it was to make them! Well, if you don’t make your own dough from scratch, that is. 😉 I’m sure it isn’t difficult to make puff pastry from scratch, it’s probably just time-consuming.
What I do know is that it definitely tastes much better than the store-bought stuff.
This recipe is very good, but you know nothing beats something that’s homemade. I saw palmiers, aka elephant ears, on Joy The Baker and they looked so easy that, “even a caveman could do it”. Easy peasy if you want to add a special treat to your breakfast table or surprise the kids when they come home from school!
I also found some other super cool palmier recipes! These Rainbow Palmiers are super fun! They’d be a right and happy addition to breakfast on a rainy day. I love these savory Cheese Garlic Herb Palmiers. They’ll be perfect appetizers for our next party or Game Day menu.
At our holiday parties, I’ll be serving this Savory Cranberry, Pistachio, and Goat Cheese Palmiers. Yum! It’s not too early to add these Valentine Palmiers to next year’s list of holiday treats!

- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Prepare a cookie sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon together.
- On a clean surface, sprinkle half of the cinnamon/sugar mixture.
- Gently unroll the pastry sheet over the sugar.
- Sprinkle the remaining sugar mixture entirely over the dough.
- With a rolling pin, roll the dough out so that it is about 1/2-1 inch longer on all sides so that it is approximately 10 X 12-inches.
- Beginning with one of the longer sides, gently roll it towards the middle, stopping in the center of the dough.
- Do the same with the other side, rolling into the center.
- Gently press the two rolls together.
- Wrap in plastic wrap, place on a cookie sheet and refrigerate for an hour until firm.
- Remove from refrigerator and using a sharp knife, cut dough into 1/2 inch-thick slices and place on prepared cookie sheet about 1-2 inches apart.
- Bake for 6 minutes, rotate the cookie sheet and then bake for another 6-8 minutes until golden.
You will have quite a bit of sugar mixture leftover, so you may not want to use a whole cup, but you can make good use of what’s left on the counter when the dough is in the fridge. It’s fun time!!!
Time for cinnamon/sugar art on the counter!
Baked Blueberry Cream Cheese French Toast

Chocolate Banana Muffins
hahaha.. i had a good giggle. like the recipe 🙂
These look AMAZING! I can’t imagine it would make that much difference to make the dough from scratch, so I think the cheating is just smart baking. I can imagine how fun it must be to slice that dough into those cute shapes.
I’ve just posted my version. Thanks for the inspiration. Love your blog post especially the cinnamon sugar art!
Lynne, oh how you torture me, not really since I have puff pastry in the freezer! Love this, and I’m all about easy shortcuts, pinned!
These look fantastic! I would love for you to share this, or any other of your wonderful recipes at my link party at http://mommyssweetconfessions.blogspot.com/2012/09/sweet-confessions-sunday-link-party-5.html . I also follow on facebook. –mommys sweet confessions
Yes….it’s 1:26 AM EST….and I’m fixin’ to make these. Had to bring the recipe back up from my Pinterest to remember how much cinnamon and sugar to mix up. Will slice and bake them later this morning. Thanks for sharing this “cheater” recipe with us…it’s nice to have one when your hands hurt all the time for nasty arthritis.

Take that leftover cinnamon sugar and sprinkle it onto flour tortillas and bake in the oven just till the tortillas get slightly golden. Yummmm…..
This looks good but copying down long had is a bit much. Why can’t you put print button?
Debra, any recipes that you want to print that do not have a print button, you can go to print friendly.com and paste the url of the recipe you want to print.
http://www.printfriendly.com/
You can choose to print with or without the images.
I am working on adding a print button to each recipe, but it takes a lot of time, since I’m only one person and I now have SO many recipes. Thank you for your patience as I work on this. 🙂
Thanks for the great recipe and the info about print friendly!!!!!
You’re so very welcome, Eric! I’ll be transferring more of my recipes into a print-friendly version, so be on the lookout for them. 🙂
Ohmygosh. Love this. Dessert tonight is done!!!

Thanks SO much, Shereena!I COMPLETELY understand about needing quick and easy recipes with an infant in tow – I had three (not all at once though! 😉 )
I’d be honored if you shared the recipe. I just request a link back to my blog and that you use your own photos. Thanks so much for asking!
Enjoy the holidays!!
