Love Letter Puff Pastry

Preheat oven to 400 F.

Unfold one thawed pastry sheet and lightly roll just to straighten and stretch it out a bit. Cut into 9 squares using a pizza cutter or knife. Cut out triangle corners from 6 squares, and cut the remaining 3 squares in half. Reserve the little triangle cutouts to shape mini hearts (optional, but I strive not to waste anything and thought on the fly what to make with these triangles; two baked ones are missing cause I ate them immediately 🤣)

Brush the edges of the "letters" with egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tsp of milk), spread the strawberry or raspberry jam only in the center. Add the rectangle cut-outs and close the edges with a fork. Brush the tops with egg wash, sprinkle some granulated sugar (optional) and bake on middle rack for 15 minutes (until puffed and golden brown).

Once baked, cool to room temperature before decorating with melted chocolate and sprinkles, if desired.

Enjoy!❤️💕🩷
