Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Serrated Knife
  • Oven
  • Spatula
  • mixing bowl

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
  • Helps achieve a golden crust.
  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • For brushing the croissants before baking.
  • Optional: Nutella peanut butter, white chocolate chips, crushed graham crackers
  • For additional fillings or topping variations.

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:
  • Flatten about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and gently place it inside each croissant.
  • 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.
