Vegan Palmiers

These buttery, caramelized pastries are proof that elegant French-style cookies can come together with just a handful of pantry staples. The secret is vegan puff pastry, which delivers all those gorgeous flaky layers without any dairy or eggs — no compromises, no swaps that feel like settling. A generous coating of organic cane sugar gets pressed into the dough, folded into a tight log, and then sliced into those iconic heart shapes before hitting a hot oven. The double-flip baking method is the real magic here: both sides get a chance to turn deep amber and lacquer into a shatteringly crisp, toffee-like finish. A pinch of cinnamon and flaky sea salt are optional but highly recommended for that sweet-salty contrast that makes it impossible to stop at one. The batch makes 24 pieces, so there's plenty to share — or not. They cool quickly on the rack and firm up beautifully, making them just as impressive on a dessert platter as they are eaten straight off the parchment.
