Freshly prepared Cookie Croissant close-up

The Cookie Croissant is a decadent pastry combining the flaky, buttery layers of a croissant with the rich, melty sweetness of chocolate chip cookies for a perfect dessert or indulgent snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 store-bought croissant dough sheets
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Unroll the croissant dough sheets and cut each into rectangles roughly 3×4 inches.
  8. Spoon a small portion of the cookie dough onto the center of each rectangle.
  9. Roll the dough up carefully, sealing the edges to encase the cookie dough inside.
  10. Place the rolled croissants onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  11. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the croissants are golden brown and puffed.
  12. Allow to cool slightly before serving warm, letting the cookie center melt deliciously.

Notes

For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle with melted chocolate or sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
