Ingredients
Scale
Pastry
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (optional)
Toppings
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or mini chocolate chips
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare Oven and Baking Sheet: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow for easy cleanup.
- Roll Out Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to smooth out any creases, ensuring an even thickness for consistent baking.
- Add Toppings: Brush the puff pastry evenly with melted butter. Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chocolate chips evenly over the surface. Lightly press the toppings into the pastry with your hands or a rolling pin to help them adhere.
- Roll and Slice: Starting from one edge, roll the puff pastry tightly like a jelly roll. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 1-inch rounds carefully to maintain shape.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each round cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for expansion during baking.
- Apply Egg Wash and Sugar: Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of each pastry round with the egg wash for a glossy finish. Sprinkle coarse sugar on top if desired for added crunch and sweetness.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed up nicely.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the cookie puffs to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Feel free to add chopped nuts or white chocolate chips to the toppings for extra texture and flavor.
- Drizzle with caramel sauce after baking for an indulgent touch.
- Best enjoyed the same day to preserve the puff pastry’s flakiness and fresh flavor.
