Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed - Puff pastry is the star of this dish, providing a light, flaky texture that is perfect for enclosing the rich cookie dough.
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chip cookie dough - The heart of these turnovers the cookie dough delivers a deliciously sweet flavor. You can use store-bought or homemade dough to suit your preferences.
  • 1 beaten egg - This egg will be used for the wash providing a beautiful golden color to the pastry as it bakes.
  • Powdered sugar for dusting - A light dusting of powdered sugar adds a sweet finishing touch to your turnovers.
Optional Glaze:
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar - For sweetness and a glazed look.
  • 1-2 tbsp milk - Adjust the consistency of the glaze making it as thick or thin as you prefer.
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract - Adds a depth of flavor and sweetness to the glaze.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Roll out the pastry: Once the puff pastry is thawed, roll it out lightly on a floured surface. Cut the pastry into four equal squares, approximately 5x5 inches in size.
  3. Add the cookie dough: Take 1/2 cup of chocolate chip cookie dough and place a generous spoonful in the center of each pastry square.
  4. Fold and seal: Gently fold the pastry over the cookie dough, creating a triangle shape. Using a fork, press down the edges to seal the turnover securely, ensuring the dough doesn’t leak during baking.
  5. Brush with egg wash: In a small bowl, beat one egg and then brush the top of each turnover with the egg wash. This will give the pastries a lovely golden brown finish as they bake.
  6. Bake: Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. Monitor closely to avoid over-browning.
  7. Drizzle with glaze: If desired, mix together 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, 1-2 tbsp of milk, and 1/4 tsp of vanilla extract in a small bowl to create a glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the warm turnovers and dust with powdered sugar for an added touch of sweetness.
