Even though they're simple to make, these jam-filled pastries are right at home in a holiday brunch spread. They were my dad's favorite, so the recipe will always be close to my heart. —Chellie Helmke, Jackson Center, Ohio

Ingredients

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large egg yolks
1 tablespoon water
1 package (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed
2/3 cup seedless raspberry jam or jam of choice
Confectioners' sugar, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°. Beat first 4 ingredients until smooth; beat in 1 egg yolk.

Mix water and remaining egg yolk. On a lightly floured surface, unfold each sheet of puff pastry; roll into a 12-in. square. Cut each into nine 4-in. squares; transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets.
Top each square with 1 tablespoon cream cheese mixture and 1 rounded teaspoon jam. Bring 2 opposite corners of pastry over filling, sealing with yolk mixture. Brush tops with remaining yolk mixture.
Bake until golden brown, 14-16 minutes. Serve warm and, if desired, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Refrigerate leftovers.
