Halloween Frosted Animal Cookie Turnovers
Ingredients
Scale
Turnovers
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup seedless raspberry preserves or jam
- ½ cup Halloween frosted animal cookies, roughly crushed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Vanilla glaze and topping
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Halloween nonpareils
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Lightly roll out the thawed puff pastry on a floured surface. Cut into 6–8 evenly sized rectangles.
- Spread a small amount of the cream cheese mixture over one half of each rectangle, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.
- Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of raspberry preserves over the cream cheese filling.
- Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of crushed Halloween frosted animal cookies over the preserves. The cookies should be roughly crushed into small pieces, not fine crumbs, so they add some texture to the filling.
- Fold the empty half of each pastry rectangle over the filling. Gently press the edges together, then seal with a fork.
- Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
- Brush the tops with beaten egg and cut a small slit in the center of each turnover to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the turnovers are puffed and golden brown.
- Allow the turnovers to cool for 10–15 minutes before adding the glaze.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of milk, and vanilla extract. Add additional milk a little at a time until the glaze reaches your desired consistency.
- Drizzle or spread the vanilla glaze over each turnover. Immediately decorate with Halloween nonpareils.
