Today is June 19, 2014.  I am very happy to be in a warm climate as I am having some arthritis problems.
Comes with the wonderful world of getting older.  Today was a great day for me as I accomplish what I wanted to get done.  Now it is on to dinner and then making some cookies for my neighbor.  I am making Palmiers.  Here is my recipe:

I package of puff pastry
Cinnamon
Sugar
Orange zest

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Mix the sugar, cinnamon and orange zest in a bowl.  Put some of the mixture down where you will be rolling out the puff pastry.  Lay the puff pastry out and the add some of the mixture on top of pastry.  You now have mixture on both sides...roll the pastry a few times to work the mixture into the pastry.  then you must fold the puff pastry. With the seam of the pastry in the middle, roll each side half way to middle, then fold to the middle.  Then take the one side an put on top of the other side.  Refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
When cooled cut the pastry in about 1/4 inch pieces and lay on parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
Cook for about 6 minutes then take out of the oven and turn each one over with a spatula.  Cook for another 6 minutes or until golden brown....

Enjoy!
