Tools
What we need
- 1 Oven

- 1 Brush
- 1 Baking Tray wide and shallow
- 1 Parchment paper
Steps
To make
take the puff pastry out of the fridge 10 minutes before.
Preheat the fan oven to 356°F
Unroll the sheet on the work surface gently to avoid tearing.
Make a cut lengthwise down the middle, then make 6 more vertical cuts, keeping an equal distance apart as in the photo. You’ll get 10 rectangles, but if you want larger sweets, you can make only 3 cuts.
On each rectangle, now score the puff pastry with the knife tip, creating diagonal slits
Like this.
Now decide whether to use dark chocolate squares or hazelnut or pistachio cream or sugar-free fruit compotes
Once decided, if using chocolate, place 2 squares or some crumbs in each puff pastry rectangle on the side without slits.
If using a chocolate cream or other creams, use 2 teaspoons to drop the amount always on the previously described side.
In this case, do not let the ingredient spill over the edge.
I made them with both chocolate cream and dark chocolate; indeed, you can be creative and make them in various flavors.
Once all rectangles are filled, use your fingertips to grab the edges of the rectangles and fold them as shown in the photo, applying gentle pressure.
Place them on parchment paper as you make them.
Now we need to seal those that have become squares, so gently fold the perimeter edges of each square as seen above.
Place the chocolate puff pastry cookies on a floured board as you make them, or on parchment paper,
then transfer them to a baking tray with parchment paper underneath, and brush them with milk.
Place the tray in the preheated oven at mid-height.
Bake for about 15 minutes.
After baking, if you wish, you can sprinkle with powdered erythritol or powdered sugar.
The quick chocolate puff pastry cookies are ready.
The quick chocolate puff pastry cookies can be stored in a container with a lid for up to 3 days.
