In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in cold, cubed unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Once formed, shape it gently into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap.

Refrigerate the wrapped dough for at least 1 hour. This chilling step ensures that the butter stays cold, creating a flaky texture in your Cheese Danish Delight.

In a medium bowl, blend softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract using a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.

Once the dough has chilled, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the chilled dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Slice the dough into 4×4 inch squares.

Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each square. Fold the corners towards the middle to create a pocket and pinch the edges together to seal.

Brush the assembled Danishes with a beaten egg wash and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Allow the baked Cheese Danish Delights to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. Serve them warm with a drizzle of icing or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
