Follow the instruction on the pastry sheets box to thaw the sheets. I thawed them for 45 minutes at room temperature.
1 Puff pastry sheet
Using a rolling pin, roll about an inch longer on both sides. This will make it crispier.
Sprinkle some sugar on the working surface. Place the rolled Puff Pastry sheet on it, and gently give it another roll so that sugar adheres to the bottom side of the sheet.
½ cup Sugar
Sprinkle some more sugar on top of the Puff Pastry Sheets.
Make a mark at the center as a guide. Fold the ends lengthwise evenly till they meet at the center. Fold it again so that it will look like a log.
Cover this in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for about 10 - 15 minutes. This will make it easier to cut evenly.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Remove the pastry log from the refrigerator and cut it into 1 cm thick pieces. Brush each piece with water, and roll in some extra sugar.
Pinch the two free ends to give each a heart shape.
Place on silicone lined baking sheet 2 inches apart, and bake in preheated oven for 15 – 18 minutes or until golden brown. Remember to flip them halfway through baking time.
Allow it to cool down completely, and store it in an airtight container.

Keep an eye on cookies when you bake as the sugar caramelizes, and it may turn them dark brown in a matter of seconds.
