Pastry
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
Filling
Topping
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Prepare the Puff Pastry: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to smooth out creases and ensure even thickness.
- Cut and Bake Pastry Layers: Cut the puff pastry into uniform rectangles or squares, typically about 2×3 inches. Place the pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them a little apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the pastry is puffed up and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- Assemble the Cookies: Once cooled, spread a thin, even layer of raspberry jam on the bottom side of half of the pastry pieces. Top each with a matching piece to create a sandwich.
- Finish with Powdered Sugar: Lightly dust the tops of the assembled cookies with powdered sugar for a classic, elegant finish.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Raspberry Mille-Feuille Cookies on a platter immediately, or refrigerate them for up to two days to maintain freshness. Bring to room temperature before serving for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Make sure the puff pastry is well chilled before baking to achieve a flaky texture.
- Raspberry jam can be substituted with other fruit preserves according to preference.
- Handle baked pastry gently to avoid cracking or breaking layers.
- These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days.
