Time 1h50m

Yield Makes 10 or 11

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup pecan halves
1/3 cup granulated sugar, plus more for surface
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons light-brown sugar
1 3/4 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
All-purpose flour, for rolling
2 sheets frozen puff pastry (from one 17.3-ounce package), thawed
1 large egg, beaten well

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toast pecans on a baking sheet until fragrant and lightly toasted, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Grind pecans, sugars, cinnamon, and salt in a food processor until very finely chopped (mixture should resemble very coarse sand).
  • Raise oven temperature to 400 degrees. Place puff pastry sheets side by side on floured parchment; press together at seam to form a 9 1/2-by-18-inch rectangle. Roll out to an 11-by-20-inch rectangle using a rolling pin. Transfer pastry on parchment to a baking sheet. Cover loosely with plastic wrap; refrigerate until firm, about 45 minutes. Brush generously with beaten egg, and evenly sprinkle with pecan mixture, patting it into dough. Starting with a short side, use one hand to roll up as tightly as possible, holding unrolled portion firmly with other palm. Brush off excess flour with a dry pastry brush as you are rolling, and press sides back into shape (they tend to splay). Roll tightly in parchment.
  • Freeze dough until firm, about 20 minutes. Cut crosswise into 1-inch slices. Generously sprinkle a work surface with granulated sugar, and coat both cut sides of dough slices in sugar. Press dough slices to flatten slightly. Roll out into 6- to 7-inch rounds on sugared surface, sprinkling more sugar on top as needed. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets, 3 per sheet; refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. Bake in batches until golden brown, 17 to 18 minutes, rotating halfway through. Let cool on baking sheets.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter: Cold butter will help create flaky layers in your cookies.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the dough, which will make your cookies light and tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time: This will help to prevent the dough from curdling.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling out: This will help to prevent the dough from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/8 inch: This will help to ensure that the cookies are evenly cooked.
  • Cut out the cookies with a sharp knife or cookie cutter: This will help to prevent the edges of the cookies from becoming ragged.
  • Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes: This will help to ensure that the cookies are cooked through without becoming overdone.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving: This will help to prevent the cookies from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

These flaky cinnamon cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their crispy edges and soft, chewy centers, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these flaky cinnamon cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
