Tips & Variations

• Try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before air frying for a sweet-salty twist.
• Swap chocolate chip cookie dough for peanut butter or oatmeal cookie dough for different flavors.

Storage

Store any leftover crookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the air fryer at 300 degrees for 2 minutes to restore crispness without drying them out.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use frozen cookie dough for this recipe?

Yes, but let it soften slightly at room temperature to make it easier to scoop and press into the croissants.

What size croissants work best?

Small to medium-sized croissants are ideal, as they cook evenly and hold the cookie dough filling well without becoming too bulky.

Croissants

• 4 small croissants

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

• 12 tablespoons chocolate chip cookie dough (homemade or store-bought)

Instructions

1. Slice Croissants: Slice each croissant open carefully using a serrated knife to create space for the cookie dough filling.
2. Fill with Cookie Dough: Scoop out 2 tablespoons of cookie dough per croissant, slightly flatten it, and press it inside the bottom half of the sliced croissant.
3. Close the Croissant: Place the top half of the croissant over the cookie dough to enclose the filling inside the croissant.
4. Add Topping Dough: Flatten 1 tablespoon of cookie dough per croissant and place it on top of the closed croissant as a topping.
5. Air Fry: Arrange the stuffed croissants in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook at 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes until the croissants are golden and the cookie dough is melty.
6. Cool and Serve: Remove the crookies from the air fryer, let them set for 5 minutes to slightly firm up before enjoying.

Notes

• Use refrigerated or frozen cookie dough for ease and convenience.
• If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake at 350°F for about 8–10 minutes in a conventional oven, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
• Allowing the crookies to set before serving helps the cookie dough firm slightly and avoids burning your mouth.
