First came the croissant. Then came the cookie. Then someone brilliant smashed them together. Meet the cookie croissant (aka the crookie).
Flaky, buttery layers on the outside. Warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie on the inside. It’s not fancy. It’s not French. It’s just delicious. Make it in 20 minutes. Instagram it. Devour it.
Makes 4 cookie croissants.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat and Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
Slice each croissant horizontally like a sandwich (don’t cut all the way through).
Stuff the Cookie Dough
Roll cookie dough into 4 oval shapes, slightly smaller than your croissants.
Stuff one cookie oval inside each croissant. Gently press closed.
Optional Top Sprinkle
Press a few extra chocolate chips on top of each croissant.
Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if you’re fancy.
Bake
Place on baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes.
Cookie should be baked through. Croissant should be golden and crispy.
Cool Slightly (If You Can Wait)
Let rest for 2 minutes. The inside is lava-hot.
Serve warm. Accept compliments.

Storage Notes
How to Store:
- Fresh is best. These are tragic the next day.
- Reheat: Air fryer at 325°F for 3-4 minutes or oven at 350°F for 5 minutes.
- Microwave? No. Soggy croissant is a crime.
Pro Tip:
Use day-old croissants. They hold up better and get extra crispy in the oven.
