Ingredients
Scale
Puff 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 ensure the turnovers bake evenly and don’t stick.
- Prepare Cookie Dough: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, providing a smooth base for the dough.
- Add Flavors and Dry Ingredients: Stir in the vanilla extract, then gradually mix in the all-purpose flour and salt until the dough comes together without any lumps.
- Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the cookie dough mixture; set aside once done.
- Cut Puff Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut it into four equal squares to create individual turnovers.
- Fill Pastry Squares: Spoon a generous tablespoon of the prepared cookie dough into the center of each puff pastry square, ensuring not to overfill to prevent leakage during baking.
- Seal Turnovers: Fold each square in half diagonally to form triangles, then press the edges firmly with a fork to seal the turnovers securely.
- Apply Egg Wash: Beat the egg thoroughly and use it to brush the tops of each turnover, which will help develop a beautiful golden and glossy crust.
- Bake: Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are puffed up and golden brown.
- Cool and Drizzle: Allow the turnovers to cool slightly on a wire rack, then drizzle the melted chocolate chips over the top for a rich, indulgent finish.
- Serve: Serve the turnovers warm to enjoy the perfect combination of flaky pastry and soft, sweet cookie dough with melty chocolate.
Notes
- Make sure the puff pastry is fully thawed before rolling to avoid tearing.
- Do not overfill the turnovers to prevent cookie dough from leaking out during baking.
- You can substitute mini chocolate chips with regular size if preferred, just be cautious with distribution.
- For an extra crunch, sprinkle a pinch of coarse sugar on top after applying egg wash.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; reheat gently before serving.
