Ingredients

For the Pop Tarts:
  • 1 stick Unsalted Butter, Softened to room temperature
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Heavy Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 3/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • pinch of Salt
  • 1/2 cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips
  • 4 Refrigerated Pie Crusts, At room temperature
  • 1 Egg, Beaten
For the Glaze and Topping:
  • 2 tablespoons Butter, Melted
  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons Heavy Cream
  • 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • splash Pure Vanilla Extract
  • Mini Semisweet Chocolate Chips

Directions

For the Pop-Tarts

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with silicone liners or foil, and if using foil, mist foil with cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together the butter, brown sugar and sugar with a fork until creamy and combined. Whisk in the heavy cream and vanilla to combine. Add in the salt and flour until a soft dough has formed, then stir in the chocolate chips. Place in the fridge while you prepare the pie crusts.
  3. On a flat surface, roll out each pie crust into a large square. Cut the square into four smaller squares. Take one square and brush the surface with the beaten egg.
  4. Take a heaping Tablespoonful of cookie dough and flatten it out in the palm of your hand into a square shape. Place the cookie dough square onto the pie crust.
  5. Brush another square of pie crust with egg wash, then place it, egg wash-side down, on top of the cookie dough square.
  6. Pinch the seams together to seal and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining 7 Pop-Tarts.
  7. Brush the tops of the Pop-Tarts with the remaining egg wash, then crimp the edges with a fork for an extra seal and a pretty border. Pierce a couple holes in the tops of the pastries with a fork to help them vent.
  8. Bake for approx. 20-25 minutes or until pastries are golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely before glazing.

For the Glaze:

  1. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, powdered sugar, heavy cream, brown sugar and vanilla with a spoon until a thick yet pourable glaze has been achieved. Add more powdered sugar if too thin, and more heavy cream if too thick.
  2. Pour the glaze evenly over the Pop-Tarts, then immediately sprinkle with miniature chocolate chips for garnish. These are best served the same day but can be eaten up to 2 days later if stored airtight at room temperature.
