Ingredients

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry thawed
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • cup brown sugar
  • cup finely chopped walnuts
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • teaspoon ground cardamom
  • water

Instructions

  • Defrost puff pastry as per package instructions
  • In a small bowl, combine brown sugar cinnamon and cardamom. Set aside.
    Finely chop the walnuts until they're just a bit bigger than grains of salt.
    Melt the butter
  • Roll out puff pastry into a 9-by-12-inch rectangle. Brush the pastry with the melted butter. Next, sprinkle with the finely chopped walnuts followed by the cinnamon, cardamom sugar mixture.
  • Sprinkle the buttered pastry with the finely chopped walnuts
  • Next sprinkle with the cinnamon, cardamom sugar mixture.
  • Starting from the long edge, quickly but gently roll the dough into a tight log. Using your finger, dot a little water along the long edge and press gently so the seam stay together. Refrigerate dough for 15-20 minutes, until slightly firm.
  • When ready, Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices and place 1 inch apart on the cookie sheet.
  • Bake until deep golden and crisp, about 12-15 minutes. Allow cookies to cool for 1minute before transferring to a wire rack to completely cool.
