Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Croissants
  • 4 large butter croissants
Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup 225 g unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup 150 g granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup 165 g packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2¼ cups 280 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1½ cups 255 g semi-sweet chocolate chips
Optional
  • 2 tbsp softened butter (for brushing croissants)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice each croissant in half horizontally to create a pocket for the cookie dough.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  4. Spread about 2–3 tablespoons of cookie dough inside each croissant and gently place the top half back on, allowing a little dough to peek out from the sides.
  5. Arrange the filled croissants on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20–22 minutes, or until the croissants are deep golden brown and the cookie dough is baked with a soft, gooey center.
  6. Remove from the oven and let the crookies cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm for the best flaky texture and melted chocolate.

Notes

  • Day-old croissants hold their shape better than fresh ones.
  • Chill the cookie dough for about 10 minutes before filling the croissants if your kitchen is warm.
  • Avoid overfilling, or the cookie dough may spill out while baking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze unbaked crookies for up to 3 months.
