### **Instructions**
#### **Step 1: Prepare the Puff Pastry**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut them into squares (about 3×3 inches each).
#### **Step 2: Add the Filling**
1. Spoon a small dollop of your chosen jam into the center of each square. Be careful not to overfill, as the jam may spill out during baking.
2. Fold the pastry into a triangle or envelope shape, pinching the edges firmly to seal.
#### **Step 3: Bake to Perfection**
1. Place the filled pastries on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
2. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
#### **Step 4: The Angelic Touch**
1. Allow the pastries to cool slightly, then generously dust them with powdered sugar to create their snowy “Christmas Angel” appearance.

### **Tips for Perfect Christmas Angels**
– **Experiment with Fillings:** Swap the jam for Nutella, cream cheese, or even a spoonful of mincemeat for a traditional holiday twist.
– **Add a Crunch:** Sprinkle slivered almonds or crushed nuts on top before baking.
– **Seal Well:** Pinch the edges tightly or use a fork to crimp them to prevent leaks.
