Total Time: 1 hour, 50 minutes
Yield: 24 cookies
Ingredients:
- 17-oz. pkg. frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 8-oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
Preparation:
Make sure that you thaw the pastry according to package directions. In small bowl, combine softened cream cheese and sugar and mix well to blend. Roll one sheet of the thawed puff pastry into a 14x10" rectangle. Spread with half of the cream cheese mixture, leaving a 1" border on one long side of the dough. Sprinkle cream cheese filling with half of the chocolate chips.
Roll up pastry, starting at long side, and finishing at the side with the uncovered border of pastry. Brush this edge with a bit of water, and seal pastry by pinching gently. Repeat with remaining sheet of pastry and remaining ingredients. Cover and chill rolls for at least 1 hour.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line cookie sheets with foil or parchment paper. Cut rolls into 1" thick slices, and place cut side up on prepared cookie sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes until pastry is golden brown. Let Puff Pastry Chocolate Chip Cookies cool for 2 minutes on cookie sheets, than remove to wire racks to finish cooling.
