Thaw the dairy-free puff pastry sheet as per the package instructions until pliable but still cold.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well mixed.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet into a 10x10 inch square, ensuring it's even in thickness.
Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the surface of the pastry.
Fold two opposite edges of the pastry towards the center to meet in the middle, then sprinkle with a little more cinnamon sugar.
Fold each side again towards the center, and then one more time, so you have four folds per side. You should end up with something resembling a long log.
Wrap the folded log in plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to make slicing easier.
Remove from the refrigerator and slice the log into 1/2-inch thick slices. You should have approximately 24 pieces.
Place the pieces cut side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each palmier, as they will expand while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Immediately transfer the palmiers to a cooling rack to prevent them from sticking to the parchment paper.
Allow them to cool completely before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free classic palmiers!
