  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 tsp finely ground espresso or coffee
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp vegetable or avocado oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a small bowl stir together cocoa powder, all purpose flour, baking powder, salt and espresso powder. Set aside.

  3. In a large bowl whisk together melted butter, brown sugar & white sugar until combined. Then whisk in egg, oil and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Save this recipe for cute MINI FRUIT HAND PIES for Save this recipe for cute MINI FRUIT HAND PIES for dessert anytime! Made with super simple ingredients, it’s a dessert you can honestly make anyyyyy time - heres the recipe friends!

INGREDIENTS:
1/2-2/3 cup pie filling of choice (I recommend cherry or blueberry!)
1 sheet frozen puff pastry *defrosted in the fridge*
egg wash (1 egg whisked with 1/2 tbsp milk)
coarse sugar for sprinkling

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Lay out the defrosted puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
3. Use a circle cookie cutter to cut out 8 circles (4 tops and 4 bottoms). Brush the edges of the 4 ‘bottom’ circles with the egg wash. Spoon about 2-3 tbsp of the pie filling into the centre of the bottom circles. 
4. Place the ‘top’ circles over the pie filling and then crimp the edges of the circles to seal - it’s ok if some of the filling seeps out!
5. Slice 2 small slits in the top of each pie; brush the egg wash on each pie and then sprinkle with sugar.  Place in the fridge while you preheat the oven to 375F. 
6. Once the oven is preheated (and it’s been at least 10 minutes since the pies have been in the fridge), bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
7. Cool on the baking sheet and then enjoy!
