Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, xanthan gum, and salt. Mix well.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the cold water, a tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough begins to hold together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes to chill slightly.
While the dough is chilling, prepare the egg wash by beating together the egg and milk in a small bowl.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll it out to about 1/4 inch thick.
Cut the dough into 8 equal rectangles and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the pastries with the egg wash using a pastry brush to ensure even browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and flaky.
While the pastries are baking, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth. Alternatively, melt in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted.
Once the pastries are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of each pastry using a spoon or a piping bag.
Allow the chocolate to set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free chocolate drizzled pastries warm or at room temperature.
