Tips for making Cookie Cruffins:

Choose Quality Puff Pastry: Opt for high-quality puff pastry for the best results. Look for brands that use real butter for a rich and flaky texture.
Keep Ingredients Cold: Ensure your ingredients, especially the puff pastry, are kept cold throughout the process. This helps maintain the layers in the pastry dough.
Roll Out Evenly: When rolling out the puff pastry, aim for an even thickness to ensure consistent baking. Use a lightly floured surface and rolling pin to prevent sticking.
Cut into Even Portions: Use a sharp knife or pastry cutter to cut the rolled-out puff pastry into even portions. This ensures that each cruffin bakes evenly and looks uniform.
Fill Generously: Don't skimp on the cookie dough filling! Generously spread the filling over the puff pastry before rolling it up to create delicious layers of flavor in every bite.
Roll and Shape Carefully: Roll up the filled puff pastry dough tightly to create defined layers. Then, carefully shape the rolled dough into muffin tins, ensuring the seam is tucked underneath to prevent unraveling during baking.
Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake the cruffins in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and puffed up. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning.
Cool Before Serving: Allow the freshly baked cruffins to cool slightly before serving. This helps them set and makes them easier to handle. Enjoy warm for the best experience!
