Heat oven to 400ºF.
Beat cream cheese and butter in large bowl with mixer until well blended. Gradually beat in flour. Shape into ball. Wrap in plastic wrap; let stand 1 hour.
Meanwhile, cook chorizo and onions in large saucepan on medium-high heat 9 to10 min. or until meat is done, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Cool completely.
Roll out pastry dough on lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Use 4-inch cookie or biscuit cutter to cut pastry into 24 rounds, rerolling scraps as necessary. Discard any remaining dough.
Spoon 1 Tbsp. meat mixture onto centre of each pastry round; brush edge with egg. Fold in half; press edges together with fork to seal. Place on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Cut small slits in tops to vent; brush with remaining egg.
Bake 18 to 20 min. or until golden brown.
