Recipe for Puff Pastry Cookies with Sugar

In the bowl of a food processor, add the flour and salt. Blend for a few seconds. Add the cold butter cut into pieces and blend for a few seconds to achieve a sandy mixture. To ensure this recipe turns out well, the butter must be very cold. If you have time, consider placing it in the freezer for 1 hour after cutting before using it.

Pour the mixture into a large bowl, add the vinegar and water. Quickly gather the dough to form a ball. Do not knead for too long! It’s okay if there are small pieces of butter remaining, they will disappear during the rolling of the dough. Wrap the dough and place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour (I prepared it in the evening and left it overnight).

Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 5mm thick. Sprinkle one third of the center dough with powdered sugar, then fold over the left third of dough. Sprinkle its surface with sugar as well, then fold over the right third of dough. At this stage, you should have used half of the sugar. You should have a piece of dough with 3 layers of dough and 2 layers of sugar.

Turn the dough a quarter turn to the right, roll it out again as you did the first time, and repeat the process with the sugar. At this stage, you should use all of the sugar.

Turn the dough again a quarter turn to the right and roll it out into a rectangle 1 cm thick. I obtained a rectangle measuring 26*18 cm. Place the dough on a cutting board and refrigerate it while preheating the oven.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F), static heat. Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Take the dough out of the fridge. Using a pastry cutter, cut it in half lengthwise. Then cut into rectangles or triangles. If you make triangles, prefer a wider base. I made the first triangles a bit narrow, and the dough spilled a little during cooking, but it doesn’t affect the taste :-).

Place the cookies on the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 cm apart. Bake for 20 minutes or until they are golden brown.

To finish, let cool, then place on the serving dish and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
