brush the pastry sheet lightly with this mixture. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar evenly over the pastry sheet. Followed by evenly sprinkling chocolate chips or chocolate powder. Cut the pastry sheet in half, lengthwise. Roll the outer edges to meet in the center: they should form a “heart” pattern. Refrigerate for 5 min to cool the dough before cutting them. - 3. Once the dough feels firm, slice palmiers out of the dough like you are cutting cookies. Place them on a lined and sprayed sheet tray. Brush the palmiers with more of the Mazola® Corn Oil/butter mixture and sprinkle lightly with more of the sugar and cinnamon. You have your chocolate cinnamon palmiers almost ready ! Place them in the refrigerator and chill for 5-7 minutes while you preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
