Preheat the oven to 400˚F. Spread half of the colored sugar on a piece of parchment paper. Place the puff pastry sheet on top of the sugar, sprinkle the remaining half of the colored sugar on top, and gently press the sugar onto the puff pastry. Consider wearing disposable gloves for this step. If the sugar won't adhere, lightly moisten the dough with cooking spray.

Fold the short ends of the puff pastry twice to meet in the center of the dough. Then, fold one half over the other to create six layers. Cut the dough into slices and arrange them in opposite directions on parchment-lined baking sheets with the cut sides facing up.

Bake at 400˚F for 10-13 minutes until golden. Allow the cookies to cool completely before decorating.

Melt the white candy coating in a small bowl in the microwave. In a separate bowl, melt the chocolate chips with shortening. Dip one side of each cooled cookie into either the melted candy coating or chocolate, place on parchment paper, and immediately top with festive sprinkles. Repeat with remaining cookies.

These cookies feature a beautiful spiral pattern when sliced and baked. The sugar coating creates a sweet, crispy exterior.
