Ingredients
Scale
Pastry
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
Cookie Dough Filling
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Finishing
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips, melted (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, helping create a smooth cookie dough texture.
- Add Vanilla and Dry Ingredients: Stir in the vanilla extract, then mix in the all-purpose flour and salt gradually until a cohesive dough forms.
- Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly into the cookie dough, then set the dough mixture aside.
- Prepare Puff Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut it into four equal squares to form the turnovers.
- Fill Pastry Squares: Spoon a generous tablespoon of the cookie dough mixture into the center of each puff pastry square to create a flavorful filling.
- Seal Turnovers: Fold each pastry square in half diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges together firmly with a fork to seal the turnovers and prevent leakage during baking.
- Apply Egg Wash: Beat the egg and brush it over the tops of each turnover for a golden, glossy finish after baking.
- Bake: Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.
- Cool and Drizzle Chocolate: Remove the turnovers from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle the melted chocolate chips over the top for an extra indulgent touch.
- Serve: Serve the turnovers warm for the best taste and texture, and enjoy this delightful dessert.
Notes
- Ensure the puff pastry is fully thawed before rolling to prevent cracking.
- Use mini chocolate chips in the filling for better distribution and texture.
- The egg wash is essential for achieving a glossy, golden crust.
- Allow turnovers to cool slightly before drizzling melted chocolate to prevent it from running off.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
