I bet you all know about the viral Cookie Croissant, or as it’s also called, Le Crookie, right? Maybe it’s not viral anymore because I am always late to doing the trending stuff.😅 Well, I have my reasons.
I love cookies and croissants, but I love to eat them separately. I didn’t think I’d spend time making cookie dough and using it as a filling and topping, without getting cookies from it. However, I kept seeing videos of people trying this combo (well, it’s my fault for spending a lot of time on social media), and I said, “Okay, I’ll give it a try out of curiosity.”
But before I could finally make it, I had this thought: the filling might be underbaked and I might get a tummy ache. Then again, I thought, I eat raw batter, so why worry about tummy pain? And underbaked cookies? What’s the issue with that? I love soft and slightly underbaked cookies! Guess I am just stalling, yeah? See? This was a battle between me and myself.🤷🏻♀️
Okay, let’s get this over with and make the viral (maybe not so viral now) cookie croissant. But hey! Let’s make it chocolate cookies!
What do I think about it?
Guess what? I LOVED IT! Well, at least the chocolate cookies and croissant combo. I love the buttery cookies, the underbaked chocolate cookie dough filling, and the crunchy cookie topping. It mostly tasted like the premium filled croissants from coffee shops. It’s the best of both worlds! Will I make it again? A BIG YES!
NOTES ON CHOCOLATE COOKIE CROISSANT:
- Make sure to cool the butter before using it.
- If you have leftover cookie dough, you can make cookies: bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-12 minutes.
