Flaky. Gooey. Irresistible.
This viral Cookie Croissant combines the buttery layers of a croissant with a soft, melty cookie dough center. It’s quick, indulgent, and guaranteed to impress with minimal effort.
Ingredients
-
2 large butter croissants (day-old preferred)
-
½ cup cookie dough (store-bought or homemade*)
-
2 tbsp chocolate chips (optional, but recommended)
-
1 tbsp butter, melted (for brushing)
Optional toppings
-
Powdered sugar
-
Flaky sea salt
-
Melted chocolate drizzle
*If homemade, use egg-free dough or dough labeled safe to eat raw.
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Slice croissants lengthwise, cutting almost all the way through to create a pocket.
-
Fill each croissant with cookie dough, spreading evenly. Sprinkle in chocolate chips if using.
-
Close gently and place on the baking sheet.
-
Brush tops lightly with melted butter.
-
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until golden brown and flaky.
-
Cool 5 minutes, then finish with desired toppings.
-
Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
-
Day-old croissants hold their shape better and won’t tear.
-
Don’t overstuff—too much dough can leak while baking.
-
The cookie center should look soft; it firms up slightly as it cools.
-
Sprinkle flaky salt right after baking for the best flavor contrast.
