Pumpkin Pistachio Palmiers: Simply Sesame Blogger Recipe Challenge
“Simply Sesame Blogger Recipe Challenge.” The challenge date has been set; the pans will be banging to see who becomes the winner of their first annual “Simply Sesame Blogger Recipe Challenge.” Where there are (almost) no rules, only originality and the pursuit of great taste!
The top entry will be awarded $1,000.00; second place $500.00; and third place $250.00 and of course, bragging rights to friends and family.
Bonelli Fine Foods gifted 75 eligible bloggers free products for the competition. I took the challenge to create an original recipe with great taste using a choice of three Simply Sesame spreads: Vanilla Bites, Pistachio Morsels with a hint of Cardamom, and Pure Roasted Sesame Original flavor.
I choose the pistachio and cardamom flavor knowing it would be prefect for making French Palmiers. I just knew the subtly flavor of cardamom blended with holiday flavor of pumpkin purée and cinnamon sugar would make a delightfully crispy treat. The result, is a perfectly crisp palmier with a hint of delicious holiday pumpkin flavor.
A Cinch to make, frozen puff pastry takes all the hard work out of making this delicious cookie not to mention, the flavor variety’s of the Simply Sesame spreads offer a vast versatility in recipe creation.

ooh, these sound amazing! i made palmiers a couple years ago and was recently thinking about making them again, but wanted a different flavor than just sugar. these sound perfectly seasonal, and the sesame spread sounds like it would add a really great toasty, nutty flavor!
Hi Heather, I can attest to the delicious nutty flavor of the Simply Sesame spreads! They really added a scrumptious richness to the palmiers without weight them down with too much moisture. Let me know if you make them and how you like the recipe!! Thanks so much for visiting and leaving a comment!! Best Regards, Rebecka
