Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the cream cheese filling by combining softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, salt, and the egg yolk in a mixing bowl. Beat until smooth and creamy.
Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 3×4 inch rectangles.
Form the pastries by folding the edges inward or scoring a border. Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the center of each pastry.
Brush the edges of your pastries with an egg wash.
Bake the pastries for 15-18 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
Cool the pastries on a wire rack for a few minutes before preparing the glaze.
Drizzle the glaze over the pastries before serving.
