Ingredients
  

  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 13.5 oz puff pastry dough (1 package)
  • 1 ½ cup chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons coarse sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 12x16-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Whisk the egg with the water and set aside.
  • Lightly dust a countertop or cutting board with all-purpose and roll the puff pastry out on top to about a 12x16-inch rectangle.
  • Cut the puff pastry in half lengthwise then in half widthwise and cut those halves in half again widthwise. (You should have 8 rectangles.)
  • Sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons of chocolate chips in the center of each of the rectangles then brush one side of the pastry with the egg wash.
  • Fold the side without the egg wash on top of the chocolate chips then fold the egg wash side on top.
  • Gently turn them over onto the prepared baking pan, seam side down.
  • Brush the tops with the egg wash and sprinkle the sugar on top.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the chocolate is melted.
  • Let them cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Tips and FAQs for making Puff Pastries:
Preheat the oven - Puff Pastry Dough needs a hot oven to bake properly so that it is light and airy. They heat allows it to rise and be fluffy.
Keep the dough cold - You want the dough to be cold. If using refrigerated dough, work kind of quickly when making the pastries so the dough does not get too warm.
Thaw the dough fully - If using frozen dough allow it to thaw and then make your pastries. You still want the dough to be cold, but when thawing the dough make sure it does not get too soft.
Use good chocolate chips - I like using a nice milk chocolate chip for this. It is sweet and melts well in the pastry. You can also use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips if you like.
