Christmas Puff Pastry Cookies

Divide the puff pastry (avoiding using empanada dough) into two equal portions.

Spread the hazelnut spread generously over one half of the dough, covering it all the way to the edges.

Cover the filling by placing the second half of the puff pastry on top.

Use Christmas-themed cookie cutters to cut out the cookies through the filling layers.

Place the cut-out cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Brush the surface of the cookies with the beaten egg yolk to ensure they turn nicely golden brown.

Bake the cookies in a preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until they are golden and crisp.

Remove from the oven, allow them to cool, and finish by dusting with powdered sugar.
