• Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°
  2. Lay a sheet of parchment on a baking sheet.
  3. Unroll crust onto a cutting board or flat surface. Using a rectangular cookie cutter or sharp knife, cut as many pieces of approx. 3” by 4” rectangles as you can from each crust (approx. 6 rectangles from each crust).

Brush the edges with water (dip finger in water and gently wet edges) and then place another rectangle on top of the rectangle with the jam. Gently pinch the edges to seal and then using a fork, crimp the edges.
  5. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
  6. Once cooled, whisk together icing ingredients and spread over each pastry pocket. Enjoy!
