Ingredients:
- 115g unsalted butter, softened
- 65g dark brown sugar, packed
- 50g granulated white sugar
- 5ml vanilla extract
- 3g salt
- 1 large egg (approx. 50g)
- 85g all-purpose flour, heat-treated
- 90g mini chocolate chips
- 450g frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 large egg (approx. 50g)
- 15ml water
- 120g powdered sugar
- 30ml whole milk
- 2.5ml vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar on medium-high for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg, vanilla, and salt to the butter mixture. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
- Stir in the heat-treated flour and mini chocolate chips by hand. Place the filling in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to stabilize.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets slightly to smooth them. Cut each sheet into 4 equal rectangles (approximately 3x5 inches).
- Place 1 generous tablespoon of chilled cookie dough in the center of 4 rectangles, leaving a 1/2 inch border around the edges.
- Brush the border with egg wash (beaten egg and water). Top with the remaining 4 pastry rectangles.
- Press the edges firmly with fingers, then use a fork to crimp the edges tightly to seal.
- Poke 3-4 small holes in the top of each pastry to vent steam.
- Bake according to oven instructions (typically 400°F/200°C) for 20 minutes or until mahogany-colored and crisp.
- Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to create a glaze. Frost the cooled pastries.
