Ingredients
Scale
For the Cookie Dough
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
For the Turnovers
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Make the cookie dough: In a bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract for richness. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until just combined. Fold in the mini chocolate chips to complete the cookie dough.
- Prepare the puff pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet and cut it into 6 equal squares to create the base of each turnover.
- Assemble turnovers: Place a tablespoon of cookie dough in the center of each puff pastry square. Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle and press the edges firmly with a fork to seal and prevent leaking.
- Apply egg wash: Whisk the egg in a small bowl and brush the tops of each turnover evenly with the egg wash, which helps achieve a beautiful golden-brown finish during baking.
- Bake the turnovers: Arrange the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15–18 minutes until they are puffed up and golden brown.
- Cool and serve: Let the turnovers cool slightly on a wire rack. Optionally, dust them with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant touch and added sweetness.
Notes
- Substitute dairy-free butter and milk to make this recipe dairy-free.
- Freeze any leftover turnovers and reheat in the oven for a quick, delicious treat.
- Avoid overfilling the turnovers to prevent the cookie dough from leaking during baking.
