Delightful cookies combining flaky puff pastry, fresh strawberries, and rich dark chocolate, perfect for any occasion and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed according to package instructions
  • 12 medium-sized fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 6 ounces dark chocolate, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: pinch of sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, unfold one thawed puff pastry sheet. Cut into 12 equal squares (about 3×3 inches). Repeat with the second sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and vanilla extract to make an egg wash.
  4. Brush the puff pastry squares lightly with the egg wash on all sides.
  5. Arrange the squares on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  6. Place a halved strawberry cut-side down in the center of each square.
  7. Sprinkle granulated sugar over the strawberries.
  8. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until puff pastry is golden and puffed.
  9. While baking, melt the chopped dark chocolate in 20-second bursts in the microwave, stirring between, or melt over a double boiler.
  10. Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet after baking.
  11. Drizzle or dip each cookie in the melted chocolate. Use a fork or spoon for a drizzle effect.
  12. Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the chocolate before it sets.
  13. Allow chocolate to set completely at room temperature or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.

Notes

Keep puff pastry cold and thawed just enough to unfold easily. Do not overload strawberries to avoid soggy pastry. Use egg wash for golden color and better adhesion of sugar and chocolate. Watch oven closely to prevent burning. Melt chocolate slowly and stir often to avoid bitterness. Cookies can be assembled ahead and refrigerated up to 4 hours before baking.
