Ingredients
- 4 large croissants
- Preferably slightly stale for extra texture.
- 1 cup chocolate chip cookie dough
- Can be store-bought or homemade.
- 1 egg optional, for egg wash

Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare Croissants:
- Using a serrated knife, slice each croissant horizontally, keeping one side attached to create a hinge.
- Stuff with Cookie Dough:

- Add Topping:
- Press a small flattened piece of cookie dough on top of each croissant for extra gooey texture.
- Brush & Bake:
- Brush the croissants with melted butter or egg wash. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. (For extra crispiness, remove any foil in the last 2 minutes.)
- Cool & Serve:
- Let the croissants rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the cookie dough to set slightly.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, uncover the croissants for the last 2 minutes of baking.
- For best results, serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar or your favorite sauce.
