Chocolate Turnovers
- 1 (17 1/4-ounce) package puff pastry sheets
- 4 1/2 ounces semi- or bittersweet chocolate, broken into 1/4-ounce pieces
- 1 egg, beaten
- Confectioners' sugar, for dusting (optional)
- Adjust oven racks to the upper and lower middle positions and heat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Working with one sheet at a time on a lightly floured work surface, trim the puff pastry sheets to 9- by 9-inch squares, then cut each sheet into nine 3-inch squares.
- Working with one square of dough at a time, place a portion of chocolate onto the lower corner, brush two edges of the dough with beaten egg, and fold the dough in half diagonally to form a turnover.
- Place each turnover on a parchment-lined cookie sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart (about 9 per sheet).
- Brush the dough tops with egg wash.
- Bake until golden brown, switching and rotating cookie sheets halfway through baking to ensure even browning, about 15 minutes.
- Cool the turnovers briefly.
- Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, if desired, and serve immediately.
