Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Combine 1/2 cup of the sugar and kosher salt and pour it over a flat surface such as a wooden board or marble slab. Unfold the sheet of puff pastry onto the sugar mixture.
- Combine 1/2 cup of the sugar and the cinnamon and spread it evenly on the puff pastry. This is not about sprinkling, it's about an even covering of sugar. With a rolling pin, lightly roll the dough until it's a 13-inch square and the sugar is pressed into the puff pastry on top and bottom. Fold the sides of the square toward the center so they go halfway to the middle. Fold them again so the two folds meet exactly at the middle of the dough. Then fold one half over the other half as though closing a book. You will have 6 layers. Slice the dough into 3/8-inch slices and place the slices, cut side up, on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the cookies for 6 minutes, or until caramelized and brown on the bottom, then turn with a spatula and bake for another 3 to 5 minutes, until caramelized on the other side. Transfer to a baking rack to cool.
ELEPHANT EAR COOKIES
Making elephant ear cookies is easier than their coiled design might suggest. Spread the pecan-cinnamon mixture on store-bought puff pastry, and then roll, slice, flatten, and coat with sugar. They emerge from the oven crisp and caramelized.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toast pecans on a baking sheet until fragrant and lightly toasted, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Grind pecans, sugars, cinnamon, and salt in a food processor until very finely chopped (mixture should resemble very coarse sand).
- Raise oven temperature to 400 degrees. Place puff pastry sheets side by side on floured parchment; press together at seam to form a 9 1/2-by-18-inch rectangle. Roll out to an 11-by-20-inch rectangle using a rolling pin. Transfer pastry on parchment to a baking sheet. Cover loosely with plastic wrap; refrigerate until firm, about 45 minutes. Brush generously with beaten egg, and evenly sprinkle with pecan mixture, patting it into dough. Starting with a short side, use one hand to roll up as tightly as possible, holding unrolled portion firmly with other palm. Brush off excess flour with a dry pastry brush as you are rolling, and press sides back into shape (they tend to splay). Roll tightly in parchment.
- Freeze dough until firm, about 20 minutes. Cut crosswise into 1-inch slices. Generously sprinkle a work surface with granulated sugar, and coat both cut sides of dough slices in sugar. Press dough slices to flatten slightly. Roll out into 6- to 7-inch rounds on sugared surface, sprinkling more sugar on top as needed. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets, 3 per sheet; refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. Bake in batches until golden brown, 17 to 18 minutes, rotating halfway through. Let cool on baking sheets.

Steps:
- to prepare the COOKIE DOUGH:.
- sift the flour, baking soda and salt into a large bowl. Add the butter and mix with an electric mixer on low speed until the largest of the butter pieces are the size of small lima beans.about 20 seconds.
- the butter pieces will be different sizes and there will still be some loose flour.
- add the sour cream and mix until large clumps of dough form that pull away from the sides of the bowl.about 15 seconds(or use a pastry blender to combine the flour mixture and butter.add the sour cream and stir with a large spoon for about 2 minutes until a smooth dough forms).
- form the dough into a smooth ball and flatten it into a rectangle about 8x5".
- you will see small pieces of butter in the dough, that is good and contributes to the flaky texture.
- wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerator for 30-60 minutes to rest and firm the dough.
- the dough can also be refrigerated overnight, but then it will have to sit at room temperature until it is soft enough to roll out easily.
- this can take as long as 1 hour in a cool kitchen.
- to prepare the FILLING:.
- in a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the almond paste and butter until smooth.
- mix in the powdered sugar, cream or milk,vanilla and almond extract until blended to a smooth soft mixture.
- OR make the filling in a food processor. Put all the ingredients in the processor, and beginning with a few on/off bursts, process until a smooth mixture forms,.about 1 minute.).
- transfer to a small bowl, cover and set aside at room temperature for up to 1 hour or refrigerate if leaving overnight.
- position a rack in the middle of the oven.
- preheat the oven to 375*.
- line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- unwrap the dough.
- lightly sprinkle the flour and sugar on the rolling pin and the rolling surface.
- roll the dough to a 14x12" rectangle.
- don't flip the dough over while rolling, but lift and turn it several times as you roll it to prevent it from sticking to the rolling surface.
- and, when you lift and turn the dough, sprinkle sugar generously on the rolling surface.
- use a thin metal spatula to spread the filling in a thin layer over the dough.
- turn the dough if necessary so a short side faces you.
- Measuring along the 14" sides, mark the center of the dough.
- rolling from the shorter 12" edge that is closer to you, roll up the dough like a jelly roll just to the marked center.
- then roll the far side toward the center until the two rolls meet.
- you will have a double log of filled dough that is smoothly attached on the bottom side.
- turn the double log over for easier cutting.
- press in the ends of the log to smooth them.
- and use a large sharp knife to cut the log into 12 1" thick slices.
- dip both sides of each slice in sugar, sprinkle the rolling pin with sugar.
- roll out each slice of dough to a large butterfly shape about 4x5" and about 1/16" thick, sprinkling the rolling pin as necessary with sugar.
- the cookies will not all be exactly the same size.
- use a large spatula to place the cookies at least 1" apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- sprinkle the top of each cookie with about 1/2 tsp sugar.
- bake the cookies one sheet at a time until the tops are evenly light brown.about 15 minutes.
- the cookies will spread about 1" and rise slightly.
- the filling may bubble up slightly on some of the cookies and have a few darker spots.
- cool the cookies for about 5 minutes on the baking sheets.
- then use a large metal spatula to transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- the outside of the sugar coated cookies will become very crisp as they cool.
- the cookies can be stored in a single layer in a tightly covered container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
