Cooking Directions
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Stir the sugar and cocoa powder in a medium bowl.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup sugar mixture on the work surface. Unfold the pastry sheet on the sugar mixture. Sprinkle the pastry with 1/2 cup sugar mixture. Reserve the remaining sugar mixture.
- Roll the pastry sheet into a 10-inch square. Fold about 1 1/2 inches of the top and bottom edges in towards the center. Fold in the same edges again over the first folds, leaving about a 1/4-inch space in the center. Fold one half of the pastry over the other, making a 6-layer pastry roll.
- Cut the pastry roll into 20 (about 1/2-inch thick) slices. Dip a cut-side of each pastry into the reserved sugar mixture. Place the pastries, sugar-side up, on the baking sheets. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown. Remove the pastries from the baking sheets and let cool on wire racks for 10 minutes.
