Foodtalk Recommends!

Make these addictive cookies with this bestseller dolce de leche spread that Amazon reviewers swear by!

So this is more of a guide than a recipe per se but regardless, either way, whoa. Puff pastry cookies with dulce de leche?! I mean, holy cow people, omg. Right?! Right.

I've only recently discovered the joys of dulce de leche and I do not know what took me so dang long to delve into the wonders of these little cans.

Have you tried it?

It really is as simple as rolling out a sheet of puff pastry dough, cutting some shapes, baking it, and filling the little sandwich cookies. Fun for the whole family!

But I'll tell ya, it doesn't taste simple -- in fact, these are beautiful. They're light. Crispy. Creamy. Caramel-y. Modest yet complex. Sweet but not too sweet. Demure yet robust. Sticky and fancy and buttery one-bite elegant delights.

Instructions

Note: this recipe is more of a guide than an actual formula. The amounts listed in the ingredients are flexible, mainly listed for nutritional calculations, and for general guidance.
Defrost the puff pastry in the refrigerator overnight or on the counter for a couple of hours. If going with the counter method, be sure to refrigerate before use.
Begin preheating the oven to 400° F (200° C) and line a baking sheet with either parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Roll the puff pastry to about 1/8" thick (0.32 cm). Cut out 1 1/2" squares (3.81 cm) with a cookie cutter, knife, or pizza cutter. Larger sizes can be cut as well as circles or other shapes. Baking time may need adjusting for larger shapes.
Re-roll the puff pastry scraps only once and cut the remaining shapes if necessary.
Refrigerate the cut pieces for 10 minutes.
Place the cut puff pastry dough shapes on the baking sheet with about 1" (2.5 cm) between them and bake until light golden brown and very puffy, about 15-20 minutes.
Cool the baked puff shapes on a cooling rack, about 5 minutes then cut each in half like sandwiches very carefully with a serrated knife.
Gently spread a 1/2 teaspoon (about 5 g) of dulce de leche for the 1 1/2" size squares on one half of each then top with the other half. Adjust as necessary for other shapes and sizes.
Dust with powdered sugar to serve, optional.
Store loosely covered.

Sounds amazing. I have a question. Does puff pastry come in layers or does it have a single piece. Do I roll out all the layers as one or do you use just one layer? Thanks! I think my family would love this and it would be easy to do with the kids and fancy!!!!

  If you buy the puff pastry, it comes as one solid sheet and likely 2 sheets per box, which you'd roll out. You'd use one sheet for this. After rolling, cut the shapes, bake them and that's when they puff up in layers. You'll then slice the puffed baked pieces and fill. Thank you!
