Puff Pastry Christmas Trees

Puff Pastry Christmas Trees, a simple, easy and delicious Christmas Holiday idea. Cinnamon sugar crunchy cookies.

📝 Ingredients

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1 roll rectangle puff pastry
• 2-3 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 5-13 large sturdy chocolates

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1In a small bowl combine well the sugar and cinnamon.
2. 2Roll out the dough on a piece of parchment paper. Cut 1 strip 1 inch / 2cm for the stars and then 10-13 strips ½-¾ inch / 1½-2 cm lengthwise. At this point you could brush the 10-13 strips with a milk and sprinkle with the cinnamon mixture or sprinkle after they formed.
3. 3If you find the dough really soft then refrigerate for about 15 minutes. Remove the dough from the fridge and fold the 10-13 strips of dough accordion style, start with a small amount and widening as you go (until you reach the end). (see video and or photos).
4. 4Place a long skewer in the center from the base to the top of the tree. Place the trees on 1-2 parchment paper lined baking sheet with the stars. Once all 10 strips have been made, if needed sprinkle with the sugar mixture. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
5. 5While the trees are chilling pre-heat the oven to 375F/190C.
6. 6Bake for approximately 10-15 minutes or until golden. Remove the trees from the pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Remove the stars from the pan to a wire rack and let cool completely then dust well with powdered sugar.
7. 7Place a star on the top of the tree and place the stick in a sturdy chocolate of choice or place on a Christmas plate and serve. Drizzle with a simple glaze if desired. Enjoy!
