These were fairly easy to make and I enjoyed the cut off pieces as a tasty treat! I used a small scalloped edge circle and it made quite alot.

These are yummy, but took me longer to make than I anticipated. It's a little tedious to cut out the stars (even with the cookie cutter). Be sure to put any puff pastry that you are not cutting in the fridge!! Otherwise the sheets will get too soft and stick together.
