Steps:
- First, make our recipe for rough puff pastry. Roll out the pastry rectangle slightly and split it into two rectangles. Re-wrap and return one of them to the fridge to stay chilled. You will be able to make two batches of palmiers, with different flavors if you like.
- Mix together the sugar and salt. Divide the mixture in half (about a ¼ cup each). Spread out 2 tablespoons of the sugar mixture onto a clean work surface and roll out the single puff pastry rectangle into a 12 inch square on top of the sugar.
- Spread another 2 tablespoons evenly on top, and lightly roll it into the dough, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Be sure to gather any loose sugar on the work surface and use it on top of the dough. This should use ¼ cup total sugar.
- If using any added ingredients (e.g., dark chocolate, pecans, rosemary/garlic, etc.), sprinkle half over the folded dough. (Note, for the savory mixtures, you are replacing the sugar.)
- Fold both sides of the square toward the center so they go halfway to the middle. Fold the folded sides again so the two folds meet exactly at the middle of the dough. If using any added ingredients (e.g., dark chocolate, pecans, rosemary/garlic, etc.), sprinkle more over the folded dough. Fold in half again so you have one long log, and wrap the dough in plastic wrap. Chill for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator or 15 minutes in the freezer.
- Repeat the process using the other half of the dough and flavoring mixture.
- When the dough is nearly done chilling, preheat your oven to 425 degrees F/220 degrees C. Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into ½ inch pieces. Place them on a baking sheet at least 3 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, layered on top of a piece of aluminum foil. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Combine the sugar and kosher salt. Pour 1 cup of the sugar/salt mixture on a flat surface such as wooden board or marble. Unfold each sheet of puff pastry onto the sugar and pour 1/2 cup of the sugar mixture on top, spreading it evenly on the puff pastry. This is not about sprinkling, it's about an even covering of sugar. With a rolling pin, roll the dough until it's 13 by 13-inches square and the sugar is pressed into the puff pastry on top and bottom. Fold the sides of the square towards the center so they go halfway to the middle. Fold them again so the two folds meet exactly at the middle of the dough. Then fold 1 half over the other half as though closing a book. You will have 6 layers. Slice the dough into 3/8-inch slices and place the slices, cut side up, on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Place the second sheet of pastry on the sugared board, sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar mixture, and continue as above. (There will be quite a bit of sugar left over on the board.) Slice and arrange on baking sheets lined with parchment.
- Bake the cookies for 6 minutes until caramelized and brown on the bottom, then turn with a spatula and bake another 3 to 5 minutes, until caramelized on the other side. Transfer to a baking rack to cool.

Sprinkle with 1/2 cup sugar to within 1/2 in. of edges. Lightly press into pastry., With a knife, very lightly score a line crosswise across the middle of the pastry. Starting at a short side, roll up jelly-roll style, stopping at the score mark in the middle. Starting at the other side, roll up pastry jelly-roll style to score mark. Freeze until firm, 20-30 minutes. Cut into 3/8-in. slices., Place cut side up 2 in. apart on parchment-lined baking sheets; sprinkle lightly with 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake for 8 minutes.

CLASSIC PALMIERS
Palmiers (also called palm leaves or pigs' ears) have a shell of caramelized sugar. Once they are in the oven, watch them closely or they may go from a perfect dark golden brown to burnt in seconds.

Steps:
- Sprinkle half the sugar on a clean work surface. Place dough on top, and sprinkle evenly with remaining sugar.
- Using a rolling pin, gently roll out dough into a 9 1/2-by-15-inch rectangle 1/8 inch thick, being careful not to press too hard around the edges. Continually coat both sides with sugar.
- Place dough so that one of the long sides is closest to you. Using your fingers, roll dough lengthwise into a long cylinder, as tightly as possible without stretching it, as you would a roll of wrapping paper, stopping when you reach the middle. Repeat the same rolling procedure with the other long side until you have two tight cylinders that meet in the middle. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap; place in refrigerator to chill at least 1 hour.
- Unwrap dough; using a sharp knife, cut dough crosswise into 3/8-inch-thick slices. Place palmiers on an ungreased baking sheet, and firmly flatten with the palm of your hand. Cover with plastic wrap; place in refrigerator 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place palmiers in oven, and bake 5 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees; continue baking until pastry is golden brown and well caramelized, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven; using a thin spatula, immediately transfer palmiers to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve shiny side up.
