How to Serve Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Turnovers
These turnovers are best served warm right out of the oven. You can enjoy them as they are, or pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat. These additions can enhance the flavor and make your dessert even more delightful.
How to Store Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Turnovers
To store leftover turnovers, let them cool completely and then place them in an airtight container. They can be kept in the refrigerator for about 2-3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the oven at a low temperature until warmed through. This will help restore their flaky texture!
Tips to Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Turnovers
- Make sure to let the puff pastry thaw fully before using; this makes it easier to work with.
- For an extra touch, you can sprinkle powdered sugar over the turnovers before serving.
- If you want to get creative, try adding different types of chocolate chips or even nuts to the cookie dough for varied flavors.
Variation
Feel free to change the filling! You can add peanut butter, nuts, or even some fruit like raspberries or strawberries. The possibilities are endless, and you can make it your own!
FAQs
1. Can I make these turnovers in advance?
Yes! You can prepare the turnovers and freeze them before baking. Just bake them straight from the freezer, but increase the baking time by a few minutes.
2. What can I substitute for puff pastry?
If you don’t have puff pastry on hand, you can use pie dough or even biscuit dough, but the texture will be slightly different.
3. How do I know when the turnovers are done?
They should be golden brown and puffed up. If they look too light, give them a few more minutes in the oven.
