Description

Delight in these easy-to-make Cookie Puff Pastries featuring flaky puff pastry filled with optional chocolate chips and a cinnamon-sugar topping. Perfect for a quick dessert or sweet snack, these pastries bake to a golden, crisp finish, with an optional dusting of powdered sugar to add a touch of sweetness.

Ingredients

Puff Pastry Base

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Filling and Topping

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
  2. Thaw Puff Pastry: If using frozen puff pastry, thaw it following the package instructions to ensure it rolls out smoothly.
  3. Roll and Cut Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to smoothen it, then cut into squares or rectangles based on your preference.
  4. Add Toppings and Filling: Brush the top of each pastry square with melted butter, sprinkle sugar and cinnamon evenly for sweetness and flavor. Optionally, add a few chocolate chips in the center and a drop of vanilla extract for enhanced taste.
  5. Fold and Seal: Fold each square into a triangle or rectangle, pressing the edges gently but firmly to seal in the filling and prevent leakage during baking.
  6. Apply Egg Wash: Whisk the egg in a small bowl and brush this over the pastry tops to give the pastries a beautiful golden and shiny crust when baked.
  7. Bake Pastries: Arrange the filled pastries on the prepared baking sheet, placing them with some space in between. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the puff pastry is puffed up, golden brown, and crisp.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the pastries from the oven and let them cool slightly so they firm up. Dust with powdered sugar if desired to add a sweet finishing touch before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure puff pastry is properly thawed before rolling for best texture.
  • Customize fillings with nuts, jams, or different chocolate varieties as desired.
  • Use cold butter and chilled baking sheet for flakier pastry layers.
  • Watch the pastries closely during the last few minutes of baking to prevent burning.
  • Serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
