Introduce the recipe and ingredients for quesitos.

Use puff pastry dough that comes in two slices.

Use Philadelphia brand cream cheese, but any preferred brand can be used.

Mix cream cheese at room temperature with sugar and vanilla extract until well combined. Note that sugar and vanilla are optional.

Flour the surface and roll out the puff pastry dough carefully.

Cut the dough into squares using a pizza cutter, aiming for about 9 squares of average size.

Stretch each square of dough to make it slightly larger before adding filling.

Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square, adjusting the amount based on the size of the dough.

Seal the pastry by folding it over and pressing the edges together, ensuring it is well sealed to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.

Beat an egg and brush it over the top of each pastry for a golden finish.

Optionally, sprinkle a little sugar on top of the pastries before baking.

Arrange the pastries on a baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.

Bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, checking until they are golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before dusting with icing sugar.
