TikTok Cookie Croissant Recipe (Crookies)
Description
The recipe starts with pre-baked croissants sliced horizontally and filled with a homemade or storebought chocolate chip cookie dough. The dough is creamed with butter and sugars, then combined with flour, baking soda, and salt before stirring in chocolate chips and chilling. Cookie dough balls are spread inside and on top of the croissants, which are then baked at 375°F until the croissant exterior is browned and crisp, while the cookie dough inside achieves the desired consistency from molten to more firm depending on bake time. The method calls for refrigerating unbaked crookies for up to two days or freezing for longer storage. Reheating can be done in the oven, air fryer, or microwave, with instructions to prevent overbrowning.
This dessert offers a unique combination of a flaky croissant and gooey cookie that appeals as a novelty baked good, with flexibility in bake time and dough thickness to customize texture.
Ingredients
- 4 large croissants pre-baked, or baked and cooled
Half Batch Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
- 1 tick butter room temperature, ½ cup, salted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar ⅓ cup for high altitude
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed (⅓ cup for high altitude)
- 1 large egg room temperature
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 ¼ cups for high altitude, unbleached
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt ¾ tsp if using unsalted butter
- powdered sugar for sifting
- 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet
Or instead of making your own cookie dough
- 1 package Chocolate Chip Cookie dough I tested using storebought Organic chocolate chip cookie dough, storebought
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375° F (190° C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
If making cookie dough (make it now)
- Cream (mix) butter and sugars together for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy. Add egg and mix for 1 minute. Add vanilla extract and mix to combine. In small bowl combine flour, baking soda and salt together, then slowly add to butter and sugar mixture until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips and refrigerate dough for 10 minutes.
- Using a serrated knife, slice pre-baked croissants (4) in half horizontally, splitting as if to make a sandwich.
- Smash two cookie dough balls in your hand (about 2 TBL each), then spread onto croissant with your fingers.
- Place top of croissant on top and divide one dough ball in half, placing on top of croissant. About a medium cookie scoop worth.
- Place on the baking sheet. Repeat this with the rest of the croissants and cookie dough.
- Bake in the oven for 9-15 minutes until the tops of the croissants and cookies are browned and the center cookie dough is still gooey. For gooier crookies bake less time, for more firm cookies bake longer.
- When the croissants are done, let them cool for about 5 minutes, then sprinkle with some powdered sugar to finish.
Notes
- Baking duration controls cookie dough doneness inside: shorter time yields gooey centers, longer yields firmer cookies.
- Leftover crookies store airtight in the fridge for up to five days; fully baked cookies also last at room temperature for two days.
- Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes wrapped loosely in foil, or use air fryer at 320°F briefly to soften cookie dough again.
- Unbaked assembled croissant cookies can be refrigerated up to two days or frozen up to two months before baking.
- Try different cookie dough flavors such as peanut butter or snickerdoodle for variety, and add nuts like walnuts or pecans if desired.
- Mini croissants can be used for smaller, individual portions.
