Ingredients

Scale

Puff Pastry

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

Cookie Dough Filling

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

For Assembly

  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and aid easy cleanup.
  2. Make Cookie Dough Filling: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract for flavor. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing until fully combined. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to incorporate them evenly into the dough.
  3. Prepare Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet evenly. Cut the pastry into 4 equal squares to form the turnover bases.
  4. Assemble Turnovers: Spoon a generous amount of the cookie dough filling into the center of each pastry square. Fold each square in half diagonally to create a triangle and press the edges firmly with a fork to seal, preventing filling from leaking during baking.
  5. Apply Egg Wash: Brush the tops of each sealed turnover with the beaten egg. This will give the pastry a beautiful golden and glossy finish after baking.
  6. Bake: Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until the puff pastry is puffed up and golden brown.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the turnovers to cool slightly. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving to add a touch of sweetness and an attractive finish.

Notes

  • Keep the puff pastry cold until ready to use to ensure maximum puff and flakiness.
  • You can freeze the assembled turnovers before baking and bake them straight from frozen; just add an extra 2–3 minutes to the baking time.
  • Ensure edges are well sealed to avoid filling leakage while baking.
