Jam Straws

mary winecoff's Note:

From Oprah's O Magazine November 2009. Easy to do with only 4 ingredients, this would be nice on those cookie spreads for Christmas.

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 24

Yield: 24.0 straws

• 1 puff pastry sheet
• 1/4 cup jam, preferably seedless (such as blackberry or currant)
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll pastry sheet to a 12 x 16" rectangle. Cut crosswise into 2 rectangles. Brush 1 rectangle with jam and place second sheet on top.
2. Mix sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle half on top. Press in gently with a rolling pin. Flip pastry over and repeat on other side.
3. Cut pastry into 24 (1/2 inch wide) strips, leave flat or twist. Transfer to 2 parchment lined baking sheets, keeping 11/2 inches between them. Chill tray for 20 minutes.
4. Bake until pastry is cooked through and golden, about 10 minutes, turning after 5 minutes.

The only thing wrong with these cookies is that they disappear too fast! I made them last night and there are only 5 left this morning. This is an incredibly easy recipe to make, too. I'll definitey be making them again. Made for Photo Tag.
