What to bake from such a wonderful semi-finished product as puff pastry ? Of course, fluffy and tender cookies! If there are leftovers of jam in the refrigerator, you can quickly cook a puff pastry.
Puff pastry cookies with jam
Ingredients:
- dough puff frozen - 1 kg;
- apricot or cherry jam - 330 g;
- Chicken egg, not large - 1 pc .;
- butter, soft - 20 g.
Preparation
While the dough is defrosting, prepare the jam. We put it in a colander to stack the syrup, or gently with a blender we'll turn into a homogeneous mass, but it should not be liquid. When the dough is thawed to the desired stage, grease the baking sheet with oil or lined with oiled paper so that the cookie does not stick. The egg is divided into protein and yolk, whisked separately. The dough is rolled into a cake with a thickness of about 3 mm. If you bought a dough already rolled up and sliced - even better. We cut from the dough squares with a side about 10 cm, in the middle we spread a spoonful of jam. In addition to apricot or cherry, strawberries, peach, plum jam are good for this cookie. Next, the two adjacent sides of our square are lubricated with protein and fold the dough so that a triangle is obtained, connecting the uncoated sides with the greased ones. Lightly press and lay triangles on a baking tray. Lubricate the yolk and send it to bake. The cookie is ready when it turns golden and the smell of delicious baking wakes everyone up for breakfast.
Jam is not always, and not everyone can. Therefore, as an option, we suggest baking cookies "Ears" made of puff pastry with sugar. Such cookies can also be given to children in school, and take with them on the road.
