Ingredients

• 2 sheets of ready-made puff pastry, thawed
• 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the filling is smooth and well combined.
3. Unroll the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
