Cuisine: French
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package croissant dough
- 1 cup cookie dough
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Remove the croissant dough and cookie dough from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften slightly.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Carefully unroll the croissant dough and separate each triangle on a clean work surface.
- Take a small portion of the cookie dough and flatten it into a thin rectangle that will fit inside the croissant triangle without overflowing.
- Place the flattened cookie dough near the wider end of each croissant triangle, sprinkle some chocolate chips on top of the cookie dough.
- Gently roll the croissant from the wider end towards the pointed end, ensuring the cookie dough and chocolate chips are fully enclosed.
- Curve the rolled croissant into a crescent shape and place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each pastry.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg and create an egg wash by whisking until smooth.
- Carefully brush each croissant with the egg wash, ensuring complete coverage for a golden, shiny finish.
- Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top of the croissants if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and the cookie dough is set.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, chocolatey centers of these viral cookie dough croissants.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Let your dough sit at room temperature for exactly 10 minutes to ensure easy handling and perfect texture.
- Chocolate Chip Pro Tip: Use high-quality chocolate chips that melt beautifully and create those Instagram-worthy gooey streaks.
- Egg Wash Secrets: Apply the egg wash evenly with a soft pastry brush for that picture-perfect golden shine.
- Spacing Matters: Leave enough space between croissants on the baking sheet to allow for even browning and prevent sticking.
- Serving Suggestion: These are best served warm, so time your baking just before you want to enjoy them for maximum deliciousness.
- Storage Hack: If you have leftovers (unlikely!), store in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the oven to restore that fresh-baked magic.
