Here's a treat no kid will leaf behind. Made with store-bought piecrust dough, fill these leaves with chocolate, peanut butter chips or whatever you prefer!
-
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon of water
- Prepared pie crust
- Mini chocolate chips
- Peanut butter chips
- Raw sugar
- Flour for work surface
-
-
Heat the oven to 375°. Whisk one egg with a teaspoon of water and set it aside.
-
On a floured surface, roll out a prepared pie crust so it's about 1/8-inch thick. Use a large leaf-shaped cookie cutter (ours is 4 1/2-inches wide) to make as many dough leaf pairs as possible.
-
For each pocket, spread about 4 teaspoons of mini chocolate chips and peanut butter chips on a leaf, leaving a 1/2-inch margin at the edge. Brush egg wash onto the edge, place a second leaf on top, and press the edges to seal.
-
Brush the top with egg wash and sprinkle it generously with raw sugar. Bake the leaves on a parchment-covered cookie sheet until their edges are just beginning to brown, about 12 minutes. Let them rest on the sheet a few minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.
