PUFF PASTRY COOKIES

“These delightful cookies are simple to make and are very similar in texture and taste to a chocolate croissant.  Need I say more to get your mouth watering?”

17¼ ounce package of Frozen Puff Pastry Dough

8 ounce package of Cream Cheese

3 Tablespoons Sugar

2 cups Milk Chocolate Chips

 

Soften cream cheese.

Thaw puff pastry dough, per instructions on package.

Combine the cream cheese and sugar.

Place one 10”x14” sheet of puffed pastry dough onto a floured surface.

Spread half of the cream cheese mixture onto the puffed pastry dough, while leaving a one inch wide strip along one 14” long side without any cream cheese.

Sprinkle half of the chocolate chips onto the cream cheese.

Using a finger dipped in water, wet the long side that does not contain any cream cheese.

Starting with the long side covered with cream cheese, roll up the dough.

Seal the edge by applying more water, if necessary.

Repeat for the remaining ingredients and make one more roll.

Place both rolls onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet and chill for one hour.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Cut the rolls widthwise into 1” wide slices.

Place slices onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Let stand for 2 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.

 

Makes about 20 puff pastry cookies.
