Cookie Croissant Recipe Ingredients

How to Make the Viral Cookie Dough Croissant

1. Using a serrated knife, slice your pure butter croissant in half and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, mix the room temperature butter, egg and vanilla. Add your flour, pudding mix, baking soda, corn starch, salt and dark chocolate chips. Mix on low until just combined. 
3. Place the bowl with the cookie dough in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to chill. 
4. For large croissants, like the ones from Trader Joes, place 2-3 cookie scoops worth of dough in the center of the bottom croissant half. Be sure to leave a little bit of an edge around the cookies to ensure the dough doesnt spill out of the croissant while baking. 

5. Place the top half of croissant over the cookie dough. Roll up 2-3 quarter sized balls of dough and press them gently onto the center of the top half of the croissant. 

6. Place the crookie onto a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes. 
7. Allow the crookie to cool slightly and then dust with powdered sugar before serving

Tips for making the perfect Crookie

Here are some helpful tips for making the perfect Crookie—a delicious hybrid of a croissant and cookie that combines the flaky layers of a croissant with the sweetness and richness of a cookie:

1. Don’t Overbake:

• Keep an eye on the baking time. The Crookie should be golden brown with flaky layers on the outside but soft and slightly gooey from the cookie inside. Overbaking can make it dry or hard.

2. Experiment with Flavors:

• The beauty of the Crookie lies in its versatility! Feel free to experiment with different fillings like peanut butter or oatmeal raisin cookie dough. You can also top them with glazes, sprinkles, or even a drizzle of chocolate.

3. Serve Warm:

• Crookies are best served warm, when the dough is flaky, and the filling is gooey. If they cool down, you can warm them briefly in the oven to revive their fresh-from-the-oven texture.

How to enjoy your Cookie Croissant

Here are a few ways to enjoy your Cookie Croissant (Crookie) to the fullest:

Pair with a Beverage:

• Pair your Crookie with a hot cup of coffee, espresso, or tea. The buttery, flaky layers go perfectly with a warm drink, balancing the sweetness and richness of the filling.
• For a cold drink, pair it with milk or iced coffee for a refreshing contrast.

Top with Ice Cream:

• Take your Crookie to the next level by serving it with a scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream. The hot and cold combination creates a dessert experience that’s both indulgent and satisfying.

Drizzle with Toppings:

• Add a finishing touch by drizzling your Crookie with chocolate or caramel sauce.

Customize with Dips:

• Try dipping it into chocolate ganache or warm caramel for extra richness and flavor.
