Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Sprinkle 1½ cups (300 G) sugar onto a clean surface, about 5 inches larger all around than the sheet of puff pastry.
- Place the puff pastry over the sugar and sprinkle the remaining 1½ cups (300 G) sugar on top.
- Gently press the sugar into the dough, then use a rolling pin to roll out the pastry to a 24 x 14-inch rectangle.
- Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the pastry into 9 equal squares.
- Add the cream cheese to a piping bag fitted with a ¾-inch round tip.
- Pipe the cream cheese diagonally onto the center of each pastry square.
- Bring one corner of the dough diagonally over the cream cheese to meet the opposite corner, then roll up into a log. Divide the pastelitos between the prepared baking sheets, making sure the seams are on the bottom so the pastelitos do not unroll during baking.
- Bake the pastelitos for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown and puffed. Remove from the oven and transfer to a plate to cool completely before serving.
- Enjoy!
