Description

These Cookie Puff Pastries are a quick and delightful treat made with flaky puff pastry, sugar, cinnamon, and optional chocolate chips. Perfectly golden and crisp, they’re easy to prepare and bake, making a perfect dessert or snack for any occasion.

Ingredients

Pastry

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)

Filling and Topping

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

Egg Wash

  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Thaw Puff Pastry: If using frozen puff pastry, thaw it according to the package instructions until pliable.
  3. Prepare Pastry Squares: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into your preferred shape, either squares or rectangles.
  4. Add Butter and Sugar Mixture: Brush each pastry piece with the melted butter, then sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over the top. For chocolate lovers, add a few chocolate chips in the center of each square.
  5. Fold and Seal: Fold each square into a triangle or rectangle, pressing the edges gently to seal the filling inside.
  6. Apply Egg Wash: Whisk the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the tops of the pastries to give them a beautiful golden finish when baked.
  7. Bake: Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until puffed up and golden brown.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the pastries from the oven, let them cool slightly, and dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the melted butter before brushing.
  • Ensure the puff pastry is properly thawed to avoid cracks when folding.
  • Customize fillings by using jam, cream cheese, or nuts instead of chocolate chips.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat pastries briefly in the oven to restore crispness before serving.
