"Little Hearts"-"Palmiers"

Palmiers:
Palmiers are thin, buttery puff pastry cookies that are glazed and baked to a caramelized crunch. They're a French invention, hence their name, which translates to palm, because their shape resembles palm fronds. They're also called palm leaves and elephant ears.Palmiers are pronounced as "pahlm-YAYS"in "French".I have taken this recipe from InaGarten's "BarefootContessa".I used coconut instead of cinnamon pwd.
