Ingredients
2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
⅔ cup cookie butter, creamy or crunchy
1 large egg
1 Tbsp heavy cream
Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
Optional: additional cookie butter, melted, for drizzling on top
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out one sheet of puff pastry slightly and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spread cookie butter evenly over the pastry, leaving about ½-inch border around the edges.
- Place the second sheet of puff pastry on top and gently press down.
- Cut the pastry into the shape of a large circle.
- Slice the circle into 16 equal wedges, leaving the center intact.
- Twist each wedge a couple of times to form the snowflake design.
- Whisk egg with cream and brush over the top of the pastry.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown and puffed.
- Cool slightly, dust with confectioners’ sugar, and drizzle with melted cookie butter if desired.
Notes
Swap cookie butter with Nutella, jam, or peanut butter for different flavors.
Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top before baking for a holiday twist.
Add crushed nuts or mini chocolate chips inside with the cookie butter for extra texture.
Keep leftovers covered at room temperature up to 2 days or in the fridge for 4 days.
Reheat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 5–7 minutes to restore crispness.
