Use chocolate chips for the filing if you're in a hurry, otherwise make your own for a great treat.

7 oz. butter
8 oz. cream cheese
1/4 cup sugar

1 tbl. cocoa
1 tbl. cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar

- Brush melted butter on the center of the circle and sprinkle 1/4 of the chocolate filling mixture (adjust to taste).
- Cut the pastry into pie-shaped wedges and, starting at the wide edge of the wedge, roll the dough up toward the point.
- Place each pastry, seam side down, on a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick spray.
- Mix the egg and sugar for the topping and brush each pastry with the topping mixture.
- Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
- Bake at 350 F for 25 minutes until golden brown.
