Ingredients
- 1 package (approximately 2 sheets) Puff pastry sheets
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
If using frozen puff pastry, allow it to thaw according to the package instructions until pliable but still cool.
Step 3
Unroll one sheet of puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface and cut it into 4 equal squares.
Step 4
Cut each square diagonally to form 2 triangles. Repeat with the second puff pastry sheet to make a total of 8 triangles.
Step 5
Place about 1 tablespoon of semi-sweet chocolate chips near the wider end of each triangle.
Step 6
Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle of puff pastry tightly toward the tip to form a crescent shape. Tuck the tip underneath to prevent unrolling during baking.
Step 7
Transfer the croissants to the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
In a small bowl, beat the egg with water to make an egg wash. Brush the surface of each croissant with the egg wash for a golden, glossy finish.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the croissants are puffed and golden brown.
Step 10
Allow the croissants to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar (if desired). Serve warm and enjoy!
