Steps:
- Pulse flour and salt in a food processor until combined. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add sour cream and pulse until mixture holds together when pinched. Knead dough on a work surface to bring together, then flatten into an 8-by-6-inch rectangle. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle half of mixture evenly on work surface. Let dough stand at room temperature until pliable. Cut in half; place one half of dough on sugared surface. With a floured rolling pin, roll into a 14-inch square. Spread half of jam onto dough, leaving a 1/4-inch border all around. Starting from one side, tightly roll dough toward center, incorporating sugar. Repeat, rolling other side to meet first roll in middle. Freeze 15 minutes.
- With a serrated knife, cut dough crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. (Refrigerate dough as needed if it gets too soft to slice.) Arrange slices 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Bake 10 minutes. Carefully flip palmiers with an offset spatula and bake until golden, about 6 minutes more. Let cool on sheets 1 minute, then transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely. Repeat with remaining sugar mixture and dough. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container, between sheets of waxed paper, up to 1 week.

Steps:
- Thaw the puff pastry sheet, according to package directions. Spread an even layer of sugar onto a pastry board. Place the thawed pastry sheet on top of the sugar. Sprinkle a layer of sugar on top of the pastry sheet. Gently roll the pastry sheet, pressing with a medium firmness to push the sugar into the dough. Spread a very thin layer of seedless raspberry jam onto the puff pastry, leaving about a 2" border all the way around.Turn the dough with the short side facing you. Fold the end closest to you about 1 1/2" inward. Do the same from the other side. With a rolling pin, press the dough together. Be careful not to press too hard, or the jam will ooze out. Again, fold another 1 1/2" inward on each side. Now, fold one side on top of the other, add additional sugar and press again with a rolling pin. Using a sharp knife, cut about 3/8" slices and place about 1 1/2" apart on parchment paper. Freeze for 15 minutes, or refrigerate for 30 minutes. Don't skip this step! Preheat the oven to 375˚F. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on your oven, until golden brown. Place on a cooling sheet. These are excellent warm, or cold with a cup of hot coffee or hot tea. NOTE: You can freeze these and bake at a later time.
Tips:
- Use fresh raspberries. Fresh raspberries have the best flavor and texture for this recipe. If you can't find fresh raspberries, you can use frozen raspberries, but thaw them completely before using.
- Use high-quality puff pastry. The quality of the puff pastry will make a big difference in the final product. Look for a puff pastry that is made with all-butter and has a light, flaky texture.
- Roll the puff pastry out thinly. The thinner the puff pastry is rolled out, the crispier the palmiers will be. Roll the puff pastry out to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
- Brush the puff pastry with melted butter. This will help the sugar stick to the puff pastry and create a crispy crust.
- Sprinkle the puff pastry with sugar. Use a generous amount of sugar, as this will help to caramelize the palmiers and give them a delicious flavor.
- Bake the palmiers until they are golden brown. Keep a close eye on the palmiers while they are baking, as they can burn easily.
Conclusion:
Raspberry palmiers are a delicious and easy-to-make pastry that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. Try adding different flavors of jam or fruit to the filling, or sprinkle the palmiers with nuts or seeds before baking. You can also shape the palmiers into different shapes, such as hearts or stars. No matter how you make them, raspberry palmiers are sure to be a hit!
