Roll the dough on a marble surface to keep it cool.

Roll the dough into a rectangle, applying firm yet gentle pressure with a rolling pin.

Slice the pastry in half and save the other half for another recipe.

Roll the dough in a generous layer of sugar.

Fold the sugar dough in thirds, applying a single fold (letter fold).

Roll the dough until it is approximately 8 inches by 11 inches (20 centimeters by 23 centimeters).

Fold the length of the dough towards the center, then repeat with the opposite side.

Fold the dough towards the center again, then repeat with the other side to reach the center.

Wrap and chill the dough to relax the gluten and chill the buttery layers.

Slice the dough into even slices and transfer onto a lined tray, allowing ample space between cookies.

Bake in a hot oven for approximately 20 minutes, flipping the cookies over after 10 to 15 minutes to caramelize the sugar on both sides.

Use chopsticks or tongs to flip the cookies during baking.

Once baked, the palmiers should have a beautiful golden color and crispy caramelized layers.
