Ingredients

• 4 small croissants
• 12 tablespoons chocolate chip cookie dough

Instructions

1. Step 1: Slice each croissant open carefully using a serrated knife.
2. Step 2: Scoop out 2 tablespoons of cookie dough per croissant. Flatten the dough slightly and press it inside the opened croissant.
3. Step 3: Close the croissant by placing the top back over the cookie dough filling.
4. Step 4: Take 1 tablespoon of cookie dough per croissant, flatten it out, and place it on top of each closed croissant.
5. Step 5: Place the crookies in a single layer inside your air fryer basket. Air fry at 350°F for 3 minutes.
6. Step 6: Remove crookies from the air fryer and let them set for 5 minutes before serving to allow the dough to firm up slightly.

Tips & Variations

• Use store-bought or homemade cookie dough; chilling the dough slightly will make it easier to handle.
• Try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few chopped nuts inside the croissant for extra flavor and texture.
• If your air fryer is small, cook the crookies in batches to ensure even cooking.

Storage

Store leftover crookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm them briefly in the air fryer at 300°F for 2 minutes to restore crispness without overbaking.

FAQs

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Ingredients

• 4 small croissants
• 12 tablespoons chocolate chip cookie dough (approximately 3/4 cup, see note)

Instructions

1. Slice the Croissants: Using a serrated knife, carefully slice each croissant open horizontally without cutting all the way through, creating a pocket for the filling.
2. Fill with Cookie Dough: Scoop out 2 tablespoons of chocolate chip cookie dough per croissant, slightly flatten it, and press it firmly into the inside of each croissant.
3. Close the Croissants: Place the top half of the croissant back over the cookie dough, sealing the filling inside gently.
4. Top with Cookie Dough: Take the remaining cookie dough, scoop 1 tablespoon per croissant, flatten it slightly, and place it on top of each closed croissant.
5. Air Fry the Crookies: Arrange the stuffed croissants in a single layer in your air fryer basket and air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes until the croissants are golden and the cookie dough is slightly melted.
6. Rest and Serve: Carefully remove the crookies from the air fryer and let them set for 5 minutes to firm up before serving warm.

Notes

• For best results, use refrigerated or slightly chilled chocolate chip cookie dough to avoid melting too quickly during air frying.
• If croissants are larger, adjust cookie dough quantity accordingly.
• You can substitute mini croissants if preferred, adjusting cook time as necessary.
• Use a non-stick spray in the air fryer basket if your basket tends to stick.
