These are a hard cookie to categorize, but essentially they’re a pastry cookie, a toast and jam affair but in handheld crunchy, flaky, buttery, jammy form. Did your brain just explode? The best part is that they are a complete breeze to make. If you haven’t already been converted to a store-bought puff pastry, now is the time, my friend. I keep a log of puff pastry in the freezer from time to time when I want to feel fancy but have only 15 minutes.

This recipe was excerpted from ‘All About Cookies’ by Christina Tosi. Buy the full book on Amazon.
