Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package (approximately 2 sheets) Puff pastry sheets
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
If using frozen puff pastry, allow it to thaw according to the package instructions until pliable but still cool.
Unroll one sheet of puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface and cut it into 4 equal squares.
Cut each square diagonally to form 2 triangles. Repeat with the second puff pastry sheet to make a total of 8 triangles.
Place about 1 tablespoon of semi-sweet chocolate chips near the wider end of each triangle.
Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle of puff pastry tightly toward the tip to form a crescent shape. Tuck the tip underneath to prevent unrolling during baking.
Transfer the croissants to the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with water to make an egg wash. Brush the surface of each croissant with the egg wash for a golden, glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the croissants are puffed and golden brown.
Allow the croissants to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar (if desired). Serve warm and enjoy!
