When I was watching the Great British Bake Off the arlettes looked very interesting to me.
They looked like a cinnamon palmier. Palmier. Cinnamon. What not to like?
I followed the recipe and they turned out very well. They really did not last the day. Koda Bear did not even get a chance to try one.
What I learned and would do differently, because I will make them again. I would make the roll that you slice to make the cookies much smaller and make more cookies. The size of cookie the recipe calls for is very large. A smaller cookie would be nicer.
Also, roll them out as thin as you possibly can. You need a good sprinkling of icing sugar and you may even wish to sift it for the rolling.
The last thing was that the sheet of cookies that was in the high middle of the oven baked better. One sheet of cookies at a time.
I will definitely make these again! Maybe this weekend if I have time.
