Ingredients
Scale
Pastry
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
Filling
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam
Topping
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the Puff Pastry: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any creases and to slightly thin the dough for even baking.
- Cut and Bake the Pastry Layers: Cut the puff pastry into small rectangular or square shapes, about 2×3 inches each, depending on the desired cookie size. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Assemble the Mille-Feuille Cookies: Take one baked puff pastry piece and spread a generous layer of raspberry jam on its flat side. Top it with another puff pastry piece, pressing lightly to sandwich the jam in between.
- Dust with Powdered Sugar: Once assembled, sprinkle the tops of the cookies with powdered sugar for a delicate, sweet finish. Optionally, you can sift the powdered sugar using a fine mesh sieve for an even dusting.
- Serve: Arrange the Raspberry Mille-Feuille Cookies on a serving platter and enjoy immediately, or refrigerate them briefly to allow the jam to set slightly.
Notes
- Make sure the puff pastry is fully cooled before assembling to prevent the jam from melting and making the pastry soggy.
- You can substitute raspberry jam with any fruit jam of your choice for a variety of flavors.
- For extra decoration, drizzle melted white or dark chocolate over the top before dusting with powdered sugar.
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain crispness.
