Decoration Tips:

Ingredients (for 6 croissant cookies):
- 60g unsalted butter, softened
- ½ egg (whisk one egg and use half)
- 45g granulated sugar
- 55g brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 115g all-purpose flour
- 125g chocolate chips
- 4-5 store-bought croissants
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cookie Dough:
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the half egg and vanilla extract, mixing well. - Add the Dry Ingredients:
Gradually mix in the flour until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. - Prepare the Croissants:
Take your store-bought croissants and gently slice them open, as if making a sandwich. Be careful not to slice them all the way through. - Stuff the Croissants with Cookie Dough:
Take a spoonful of the cookie dough mixture and stuff it inside each croissant. Press the croissant closed lightly so that the dough stays inside. - Bake:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the stuffed croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and the cookie dough is fully baked inside. - Cool and Serve:
Allow the croissant cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy these warm for a soft and gooey treat!
Tips:
- For an even more indulgent treat, serve the crookies with a side of ice cream or dip them in melted chocolate.
- Make sure to slightly underbake the cookie dough for a gooey center inside the flaky croissant.
Enjoy your delicious croissant cookies, a perfect blend of flaky and chewy textures!
