Decoration Tips
For a beautiful and tasty finish, dust the cooled twists with powdered sugar. For a festive touch, you can drizzle them with a simple icing made from powdered sugar and a little plant milk or even sprinkle them with a pinch of cinnamon or crushed nuts before baking for added texture.
Ingredients:
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- Cookie butter (as much as desired for spreading)
- Plant milk (for brushing)
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unfold the puff pastry sheet. Using a pizza cutter, divide it into two equal halves.
- Generously spread cookie butter over one half of the pastry. Carefully place the other half on top, aligning the edges as much as possible.
- Using the pizza cutter or a knife, cut the layered pastry into strips. Twist each strip into a spiral shape and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
- Brush the tops of the twists with plant milk to help them achieve a golden color upon baking.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the twists are puffed and golden brown. If they appear pale after 16 minutes, you can move them to the top rack of the oven for a minute or two, but watch closely to avoid burning.
- Allow the twists to cool on the baking sheet before dusting with powdered sugar, if using.
Enjoy these delightful Cookie Butter Puff Pastry Twists, a simple yet elegant dessert that's sure to impress with its sweet, spiced flavor and flaky texture!
