Ingredients:
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry
- 25 miniature peanut butter cups (or substitute with milk chocolate-covered chewy caramels)
- Powdered sugar for sprinkling
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that your cookies bake evenly and acquire that perfect golden brown color.
-
Prepare Puff Pastry: Take your frozen puff pastry sheet out of the freezer and allow it to thaw slightly. Once it’s manageable, unfold the pastry and lay it flat on your work surface.
-
-
Arrange Filling: Now, it’s time to add the delicious filling! Arrange the miniature peanut butter cups (or your preferred substitute) in neat rows of 5×5 on top of the pastry sheet. Ensure they are evenly spaced for consistent flavor in each cookie.
-
Seal the Pastry: Using a pastry brush, lightly moisten the areas between the cups with water. This step helps in sealing the pastry layers together. Then, carefully place another pastry sheet on top of the filling.
-
Seal and Cut: Gently press the pastry around the cups to seal them together. This ensures that the filling stays intact while baking. Next, use a sharp knife or a pastry cutter to cut between the cups, creating individual ravioli cookies.
-
Bake: Transfer the prepared cookies onto an ungreased cookie sheet, ensuring they have enough space between them for expansion. Place the sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until the cookies are puffy and golden brown.
-
Cool and Sprinkle: Once baked to perfection, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack. After cooling for a few minutes, sprinkle the cookies generously with powdered sugar for an added touch of sweetness and elegance.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Your delightful Puff Pastry Ravioli Cookies are now ready to be served and enjoyed! These delectable treats are perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a casual snack, a lunchbox surprise, or a festive dessert.
Notes:
- Feel free to experiment with different fillings according to your taste preferences. Milk chocolate-covered chewy caramels make a delightful alternative to peanut butter cups.
- These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to several days. Simply reheat in the oven for a few minutes before serving to restore their crispiness.
- Get creative with presentation by dusting the cookies with colored sugar or drizzling them with melted chocolate for an extra special touch.
With their flaky puff pastry exterior and irresistibly sweet filling, these Puff Pastry Ravioli Cookies are sure to become a favorite among friends and family alike. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures in every bite! 🌟
