How to Make Elephant Ear Cookies Using Puff Pastry Sheets
If you’re a sane, normal individual, you understand that overwhelming craving for anything and everything doughy and sugary. If you don’t get a tingly feeling just thinking about those two words together, well, you’re hopeless.
Growing up I used to down my mom’s freshly baked elephant ears by the plateful. But since my mom couldn’t follow me to college, I decided to take a crack at it myself so I could satisfy my sugary dough cravings whenever I needed to. So, here, I present you homemade elephant ears only using 3 ingredients and 6 simple steps.
