Cookie Puff Pastry Rolls Recipe

Introduction

Cookie Puff Pastry combines flaky, buttery layers with sweet, gooey cookie dough for a delightful treat. This easy-to-make dessert adds a fun twist to classic cookies and is perfect for sharing or enjoying with a cup of coffee.

Ingredients

• 1 box (17.3 oz) frozen puff pastry, thawed (2 sheets)
• 1.5 cups prepared cookie dough (such as a tub of Toll House)
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• Flour for surface
• Grease for muffin pan

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a muffin pan thoroughly.
2. Step 2: On a clean, lightly floured surface, roll out both sheets of puff pastry until they are about 1/4 inch thick, making them as similar in size as possible.
3. Step 3: Crumble the prepared cookie dough evenly over the bottom sheet of puff pastry. Gently press the dough down to cover most of the surface area.
4. Step 4: Carefully place the second sheet of puff pastry on top of the cookie dough layer.
5. Step 5: Cut the layered pastry and dough into 9 equal strips, each about 1 to 1.25 inches wide. Roll each strip up like a cinnamon roll.
6. Step 6: Place each rolled strip into the greased muffin pan cups.
7. Step 7: Beat the egg with the tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash.
8. Step 8: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Cover the tops with foil toward the end of baking to prevent over-browning.

Tips & Variations

• Use your favorite cookie dough flavor to customize the taste. Chocolate chip, peanut butter, or even sugar cookie dough work beautifully.
• Chill the rolled pastry in the muffin pan for 15 minutes before baking to help maintain shape.
• For extra sparkle, sprinkle coarse sugar on top after brushing with egg wash.

Storage

Store leftover cookie puff pastries in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To keep them fresh longer, refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat gently in a warm oven or toaster oven to restore flakiness before serving.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use homemade cookie dough instead of store-bought?

Yes, homemade cookie dough works just as well and allows you to control ingredients and flavors to your liking.

Can I freeze the unbaked rolls?

Absolutely. After assembling and rolling, place the muffin pan in the freezer until firm, then transfer rolls to a freezer-safe container. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Puff Pastry

• 1 – 17.3 oz box frozen puff pastry, thawed (2-sheet box)

Cookie Dough

• 1.5 cups prepared cookie dough (e.g., Toll House tub)

Egg Wash

• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water

Other

• Flour for surface dusting
• Grease for muffin pan

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
2. Roll Puff Pastry: On a clean, lightly floured surface, roll out both thawed sheets of puff pastry to about 1/4 inch thickness, thinning them slightly from their original thickness. Try to make both sheets similar in size.
3. Assemble Layers: Crumble the prepared cookie dough evenly over the entire surface of one puff pastry sheet. Lightly press down to cover most of the surface area. Place the second puff pastry sheet evenly over the cookie dough layer.
4. Cut and Roll: Cut the layered puff pastry and cookie dough into 9 equal strips, approximately 1 to 1.25 inches wide. Roll each strip up tightly like a cinnamon roll.
5. Place in Muffin Pan: Place each rolled strip upright into the greased muffin pan cups, spacing them evenly.
6. Apply Egg Wash: Beat together 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of each rolled pastry generously with this mixture to promote browning.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. To prevent over-browning, cover the tops loosely with foil towards the last 5-7 minutes of baking if needed, until pastries are golden and puffed.
8. Cool and Serve: Remove the pastries from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before removing from the muffin pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

• Be sure to thaw puff pastry completely as per package instructions before rolling for best results.
• You can use any cookie dough you prefer, homemade or store-bought.
• Lightly flouring the surface prevents the puff pastry from sticking while rolling out.
• Covering the pastries with foil towards the end of baking helps prevent excessive browning without sacrificing crispness.
• Serve these pastries warm for a gooey interior or cooled for a firmer texture.
