- Ready-to-use puff pastry sheets. I bought mine at a local store.

- 1 beaten Egg for the egg wash
- Some water for the hand pie edges. The water makes your spooky pastry treats ‘ bottom and upper parts stick together.

Step-by-step Halloween hand pies tutorial
- First, I’ll gather my spooky cookie cutters. In my case, a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter and tiny cutters to create a spooky Jack O’Lantern face. I’ve got all my cutters from Amazon.
- Secondly, roll out the puff pastry sheets on a floured surface. I bought ready-to-use puff pastry sheets and cut out pumpkin-shaped cookies. Make sure to cut out an even number of cookies.
- Take the wasted dough, form it into a ball, and roll it out again to get more cookies.
- Take half of the cookies and cut out spooky faces with special cookie cutters or a sharp knife.
Simple Halloween puff pastry ideas for a crowd
- Take the other pumpkin-shaped cookies and fill them with Nutella or jam.
- Moisten the edges of the filled cookies, put the spooky Jack O’Lantern cookies on top, and seal the edges by pressing them with a fork.
- Brush each hand pie with the beaten egg for a golden finish and sprinkle with brown sugar.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the hand pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-15 minutes or until they are golden brown.
- Voilá! Your homemade hand pies are ready.
- Your Halloween Puff Pastry Hand Pies are now ready to impress your party guests or delight your little goblins. Serve them as a delightful dessert or spooky snack for your Halloween celebration!
