Cinnamon Puff Pastry Cookies

Gather all necessary components for the recipe.

Combine 1/3 cup sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom in a small bowl to create a mixture.

Spread the remaining 1/4 cup sugar onto a flat surface. Unfold puff pastry and position it over the sugar; roll out to form a 10x15-inch rectangle. Brush pastry with melted butter, then evenly distribute the sugar mixture over the top.

Begin rolling the pastry tightly around the filling, starting with one long edge and stopping in the middle of the rectangle. Repeat this process with the opposite edge, rolling to the center and meeting the first roll. To secure the two rolls together, moisten your finger with water and apply it to the long edges where the two rolls touch; press gently to seal. Place the sealed pastry in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes, allowing it to firm up slightly.

Concurrently, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Cut the chilled pastry into 1/4-inch thick slices; arrange them 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden and crispy, approximately 12 minutes. Allow the pastries to rest briefly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
