- Second, roll the crust out between two sheets of plastic wrap.
- Third, roll into a rectangle of about 1/8 - 1/4 inch thick.
- Use a 3 1/2-inch circle. (Heart-shaped cookie cutter for Valentine's.
- Perhaps a bunny cookie cutter for Easter).
- Cut out 12 circles of dough.
- Next, place 6 of the shapes or bottoms onto the prepared cookie rack.
- Place spread 1 tsp of strawberry filling and spread leaving a small edge.
- Place a small slice or chunk of Brie on top of a bottom dough circle.
- Using a 1-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter cut out the center of the remaining 6 dough circles (the tops).
- This will allow for air to be released.
- Brush the bottom outside edges with the egg wash.
- Add the top to the pastry creating a sandwich.
- Press down on the edges to seal.
- Place the cookie sheet into the fridge and allow to chill for at least 20 minutes.
