Ingredients

• 1 sheet of prepared puff pastry , thawed
• 9 chocolate squares
• 9 gingerbread men cookies
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon water

Steps

1. Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. Cut a sheet of puff pastry into 9 rectangles that are twice as tall as gingerbread men cookies, and twice as wide. Space rectangles out on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Center a chocolate square on the upper third of each pastry rectangle, leaving a border of pastry uncovered at top and sides.
4. Layer a gingerbread man cookie on top, so that the head of gingerbread cookie rests on the chocolate piece like a “pillow”.
5. For egg wash, whisk egg with water in a small bowl.
6. Fold lower part of pastry rectangle up over the “body” of gingerbread man cookie to make a “blanket.” Crimp the sides and bottom of pastry with a fork. Brush pastry with egg wash.
7. Bake pastries in the preheated oven until light golden brown, 13 to 15 minutes.
8. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
