HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE DANISH

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Unfold the puff pastry sheets and lay out on a flat surface.

Use a knife to cut along the fold marks to create three equal sized strips. Cut each strip in half to make a total of 12 rectangles.

Arrange the puff pastry rectangles on a large, ungreased cookie sheet leaving at least 1 inch of space between each rectangle.

With a paring knife, lightly score a border around the entire edge of each pastry rectangle, about ¾ inch away from the edge.

Use a fork to poke a few holes into the center area of each pastry. This allows the outside border to rise and puff up while the center stays lower and holds the filling.

In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, and the vanilla extract.
