They’re so cute and small, aww, look at the little sprinkles 🙂
They’re like little gooey filled bits of popcorn and are perfect for snacking on, especially cos you don’t even have to commit to a certain flavor so you can make them fit your craving! We love these flavours
– nutella
– chocolate
– cinnamon + sugar
– raspberry jam
– cinnamon, sugar + raisins
However, the possibilities are endless! You can change up the cookie dough (I opted for a very plain dough so as not to overpower the fillings), e.g. adding cocoa powder, using sugar cookie dough, using pastry, using homemade graham cracker dough, gingerbread, lemon sugar cookies, adding cinnamon etc..
Or change the fillings, use marshamallow fluff, dried fruits, different types of chocolate, frangipane, jams, cookie doughs, lemon curd, nut butters, meringue…
Frost with different things like toasted marshmallow frosting stuff, buttercream, melted chocolate, coffee glaze, maple glaze, finely chopped nuts, grated chocolate, lemon zest…
Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Roll dough out as thinly as possible (almost paper thin!) on some parchment paper with a lightly floured rolling pin.Cut dough into 4cm x 2.5 cm rectangles.
In a small bowl whisk egg white with water using a fork until slightly frothy. Brush this lightly onto one line of the rectangles. (Refrigerate the egg white while you fill these rectangles)
Place up to 1/2 a tsp of the filling(s) of your choice onto one half of the dough. Fold the rectangle in half so you now have a 2 x 2.5 cm rectangle. Seal the edges with your fingers and/ or a tooth pick.
Poke lightly with a fork and bake on a cookie sheet for 5-8 minutes until lightly golden brown around the edges.
What a great idea! They turned out super cute. It’s good you had a friend to help decorate – I always lose patience when trying to make mini-things adorable.

I finalllly made these after having the recipe saved on Foodgawker for forever 🙂 They are so cute and delicious! I used a ton of different fillings – Biscoff spread, homemade peanut butter, peach preserves, marshmallows (!!), blackberry jam, dark chocolate chunks, raisins and dried berries – I guess I went kinda crazy on the fillings 🙂 They were a bit time consuming to make for the amount that I got (I couldn’t get my dough rolled as thin as yours), so I think next time I will double the recipe!
