Puff Pastry Dulce De Leche Heart Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 deg. F. Remove one puff pastry sheet from freezer, and allow to thaw at room temp. for 30 to 40 minutes.
• Roll piece of puff pastry out to a 14"x10" rectangle. Using a 3-1/2" heart shaped cookie cutter (or any shape you would like), cut out 12 hearts from sheet of pastry (*or as many as you can with the shape you are using)
• Place puff pastry hearts on a baking sheet(s). Brush Dulce de Leche sauce evenly over each heart. Crush heath bars and sprinkle hearts with crushed candy bits.
• Bake at 400 deg. F. for 10 minutes until puffed. Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temp.
• If desired, place chocolate in a microwave safe cup or bowl, and microwave for about 1-1/2 minutes (stirring every 30 seconds) until melted and smooth. Drizzle chocolate over each heart cookie.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Roll puff pastry over a floured surface; cut into 1.5-inch squares. Place on the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden and crispy, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Transfer baked squares to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 5 minutes. Slice each square in half.
• Spread 2 tablespoons dulce de leche on half of the puff pastry squares; top with the other half of puff pastry square. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spread coconut in ungreased shallow pan. Bake uncovered 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Turn off oven. In food processor bowl with metal blade, place cooled coconut. Cover; process until ground. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat butter and 2/3 cup sugar with electric mixer on medium speed about 1 minute or until smooth. Add egg yolks, rum and vanilla. On high speed, beat about 1 minute or until blended.
• In medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture until well blended. Cover; refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Heat oven to 350°F. Shape dough into 3/4-inch balls. On ungreased nonstick (not insulated) cookie sheets, place balls about 2 inches apart. Dip bottom of small glass into 1/4 cup sugar; press on cookies to make about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
• Bake 10 to 11 minutes or just until edges begin to brown. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
• For each sandwich cookie, spread about 1 teaspoon of the caramel apple dip on bottom of 1 cookie, spreading to edge of cookie. Top with second cookie. Gently squeeze until filling oozes out a little around the side. Roll edges of cookies in ground coconut.
