Puff Pastry Cookies

To make puff pastry cookies from scratch, you'll need to prepare a basic puff pastry dough, which involves layering butter and dough through a process called lamination. However, for a quicker option, you can use store-bought puff pastry sheets, as outlined in this recipe.

Traditional puff pastry is made with butter, making it unsuitable for a vegan diet. However, you can find vegan puff pastry options at some grocery stores, or you can make your own using plant-based butter to create delicious vegan puff pastry cookies.

If you're looking to reduce sugar in your puff pastry cookies, you can substitute it with alternatives like coconut sugar, honey, or maple syrup. Just keep in mind that liquid sweeteners may alter the texture slightly, so adjust the baking time accordingly.

To store leftover puff pastry cookies, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them for up to a month. Just make sure to separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Puff pastry cookies pair wonderfully with a variety of beverages. Consider serving them with coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. They also make a delightful addition to dessert platters alongside fresh fruits, whipped cream, or chocolate dipping sauce.
