Palmier Pastry Cookies

Palmier Pastry Cookies are a sumptuous delicacy my Nan used to make. They are lovely and sweet without being sickly and are so soft and delicate. Using all butter puff pastry creates an simple yet superb base of flavour and texture. There are only 3 ingredients but together they are make a pastry that is a firm favourite. These cookies are perfect snacks and can be made in advance and stored in an air tight container.
