Coconut sugar offers a lower glycemic index while brown sugar is often less expensive.

Sprinkle sugar generously over the work surface.

Roll out the puff pastry on the sugared surface, picking up sugar as you roll.

Trim the ends of the pastry to ensure it's loose from the work surface.

The rolled pastry should be about 7 to 8 inches wide by 13 inches long.

Sprinkle more sugar on top of the pastry and roll it in lightly.

Fold one side of the pastry to the center, then fold the other side to meet it in the middle.

Sprinkle both sides with more sugar and roll it in lightly again.

Fold the pastry one more time, sealing it well and pressing with a rolling pin to ensure it's compact.

Cut the rolled pastry in half and place it in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes to firm up.

After freezing, cut the pastry into 1 cm thick pieces.

Place the pieces cut-side up on a baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.

Bake in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes until golden brown on one side.

Flip the pieces over to brown the other side, baking for another 10 minutes.

Remove the palmiers from the oven and let them cool down.
