Pastry
- 1 sheet puff pastry (about 250g), thawed
Filling
Topping
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Prepare Puff Pastry: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to an even thickness, about 1/8 inch. Cut the dough into evenly sized rectangles or squares, approximately 3 x 2 inches each.
- Bake Pastry Layers: Place the puff pastry pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between them. Pierce each piece lightly with a fork to prevent excessive puffing. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Assemble Cookies: Once the pastry layers are cool, spread a thin layer of raspberry jam evenly on the underside of one pastry piece. Sandwich it with another pastry piece to create a cookie with jam in the center. Repeat with the remaining pastry pieces.
- Finish and Serve: Dust the assembled mille-feuille cookies generously with powdered sugar before serving. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days to maintain crispness.
Notes
- Use high-quality puff pastry for the best flaky texture.
- Make sure the pastry is completely cool before assembling to prevent the jam from melting the pastry layers.
- These cookies are best eaten fresh to enjoy the crisp puff pastry.
- Variations can include using apricot or strawberry jam instead of raspberry.
