Instructions

1. 1

   Defrost Puff Pastry

   5 min

   Take the puff pastry out of the freezer and allow it to defrost completely before using.

2. 2

   Roll Out Pastry

   10 min

   Lightly dust your countertop with flour. Stack the defrosted sheets of puff pastry and roll them out with a rolling pin until they are thin and combined into one sheet.

3. 3

   Cut Out Cookie Shapes

   5 min

   Use a round or oval cutter to press shapes into the rolled-out puff pastry. Aim to maximize the number of cookies you can cut from the dough.

4. 4

   Prepare Sugar Mix

   3 min

   In a small bowl, combine vanilla sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, and the lime zest. This will be the flavorful coating for your cookies.

5. 5

   Preheat Oven and Prepare Dough

   5 min

   Remove excess flour from the counter and sprinkle some of the sugar mix over it. Brush the cookies with egg wash, then dip them in the sugar mix, gently pressing to adhere the sugar.

6. 6

   Rest Cookies

   25 min

   Place the coated cookies on a greased baking sheet or one lined with baking paper. Allow them to rest for 20-25 minutes to achieve a crispier texture.

7. 7

   Bake Cookies

   25 min

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Bake the cookies for about 25 minutes until they are golden brown and the sugar is nicely caramelized.
