Frequently Asked Questions About Palmier cookie
What is a Palmier cookie made of?
A Palmier cookie is made from puff pastry and sugar. The pastry is rolled inward from both sides, sliced, and baked until the layers puff and turn crisp; some recipes add a little cinnamon or other flavoring.
How do you make a Palmier cookie?
To make a Palmier cookie, coat puff pastry with sugar, roll both long edges toward the center, chill it until firm, then slice and bake. Chilling helps the pieces hold their distinctive shape as the pastry expands.
Where did the Palmier cookie originate?
The Palmier cookie originated in France. Its French name means “palm tree,” referring to the fan-like shape formed when the folded puff pastry opens during baking.
Why is a Palmier cookie shaped like a heart?
A Palmier cookie can look heart-shaped because its two rolled sides meet at the center and spread apart as the pastry bakes. The same traditional shape is also compared to palm leaves or butterfly wings.
Is a Palmier cookie the same as elephant ears?
Often, yes: “elephant ears” is a name used for Palmier cookies, especially in North America. Names and shapes can vary by bakery, but the familiar version is crisp, sugary puff pastry folded into a palm-like form.
How do you keep a Palmier cookie crispy?
Keep a Palmier cookie in an airtight container after it has cooled completely. Moisture softens the flaky layers, so avoid storing the cookies while warm or leaving them uncovered in a humid kitchen.
Can you freeze Palmier cookies?
Yes, baked Palmier cookies can be frozen once fully cooled. Seal them in a freezer-safe container with parchment between layers, then thaw and briefly warm them in the oven if you want to refresh their crispness.
Why did my Palmier cookie spread too much?
A Palmier cookie may spread if the pastry becomes warm and soft before baking. Chill the shaped slices before they go into the oven, and leave space between them because puff pastry expands as it bakes.
Can you make Palmier cookies with store-bought puff pastry?
Yes, store-bought puff pastry works well for Palmier cookies and makes them quick to prepare. Most packaged versions are processed foods; at home, you can control how much sugar you add and bake only the amount you need.
What should you serve with a Palmier cookie?
Serve a Palmier cookie with coffee, tea, or another unsweetened drink. Its sugary, flaky texture makes it a natural small treat alongside a hot drink, or it can be crumbled over ice cream.

What is Palmier cookie?
A palmier cookie is a French pastry made by folding sugar-coated puff pastry in from both sides, then baking it until the layers rise and the sugar turns lightly golden. Its familiar heart-like shape gives way to crisp, flaky layers with a sweet, caramelised edge.
In France, palmiers are commonly enjoyed with coffee or tea, and they also suit a simple break with a hot drink elsewhere. They are rich in sugar and fat rather than protein; a 30 g serving provides a small treat without needing a large portion. Pair one with unsweetened tea or coffee if you want to balance its sweetness.
