- Using a round or oval form press into the puff pastry and try to be as economical doing that as possible. You want to have as many cookies as you can.
- Mix the vanilla sugar with the cinnamon, cardemom and limezest in a little bowl
- Remove the flour from the counter and sprinkle with a bit of the sugar mix.
- Brush your puff pastry with a little bit of eggwash and than dip into the sugar mix and roll them softly to press the sugar in.
- Put your sugary puff pastry on a baking sheet (greased or with baking paper) and leave the dough to rest for about 20 to 25 minutes. this will make the cookies even crisper.
- Preheat the oven in the meantime to 180 C and put the baking tray in the oven.
