Scale
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough:
- 1/2 cup Salted Butter
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 1/4 cup Light Brown Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 1/4 cup Flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 cup Dark Chocolate Chips
Other:
- 5 Croissants
- Sea Salt (optional)
Instructions
- Make the Brown Butter:
- Heat butter in a saucepan over low heat. Let it sizzle and bubble until the moisture evaporates.
- Once the sizzling stops, wait 1-2 minutes until the milk solids turn golden brown. Turn off the heat immediately to prevent burning.
- Prepare the Cookie Dough:
- Transfer the brown butter to a heatproof mixing bowl and let it cool slightly.
- Whisk in sugar and brown sugar until combined.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well.
- Sift in flour and baking soda, then stir to combine.
- Fold in ⅓ cup of chocolate chips.
- Assemble the Crookies:
- Slice croissants in half.
- Flatten 2 tbsp of cookie dough and place it inside each croissant. Add a few extra chocolate chips. Close the croissant.
- Place another 2 tbsp of cookie dough on top of each croissant and press in more chocolate chips for an appealing look.
- Bake:
- Preheat oven to 350ºF (175°C).
- Place assembled crookies on a baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve & Enjoy:
- Let them cool for 2-5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Sprinkle with sea salt for an extra flavor boost. Enjoy warm!
Notes
- Be careful not to over-brown the butter; it can burn quickly.
- Dark chocolate chips balance the sweetness, but you can use milk or semi-sweet chocolate if preferred.
- For an extra indulgent version, drizzle melted chocolate on top after baking!
