Shaped, molded and pressed cookies
Makes
30 to 32 cookies
- 1/2 cup sugar, or to taste
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted and cooled
- 1 package (17 1/4 ounces, or 2 sheets) frozen puff pastry, thawed to room temperature in the package
Steps
In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon together. Sprinkle a
pastry cloth or a board with cinnamon sugar. Put each sheet
of defrosted puff pastry on the sugar-sprinkled cloth and roll to
a 10-by-10-inch rectangle.
Brush pastry with melted butter or margarine. Sprinkle some of the sugar mixture, to taste, over each sheet of pastry.
Brush edges of each sheet of pastry with water. Roll each short end toward the center, jelly-roll fashion, making 3 turns on each side, until both rolls touch in the middle. Gently press rolls together. Chill for 45 minutes, or until firm.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease or spray cookie sheets.
Cut chilled rolls into 1/2-inch slices. Turn them on their sides. Sprinkle cookie sheet with some of the cinnamon sugar. Set cookies on cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart, and sprinkle with more sugar.
Bake in the center of the oven for 15 minutes, or until puffy and golden brown. Watch the cookies so that they do not brown too much. Remove to wire racks to cool.
