Ingredients

Scale

Croissants

  • 4 small croissants

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

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

Instructions

  1. Slice Croissants: Using a serrated knife, carefully slice each croissant open horizontally without cutting all the way through, creating a pocket.
  2. Fill with Cookie Dough: Scoop out 2 tablespoons of chocolate chip cookie dough per croissant. Flatten the dough slightly and press it firmly inside the opened croissant to fill the center.
  3. Close Croissants: Place the top half of each croissant back over the cookie dough to encase it completely inside.
  4. Top with Cookie Dough: Flatten 1 tablespoon of cookie dough for each croissant and place it on top, adding extra cookie goodness on the outside.
  5. Air Fry: Arrange the prepared croissants in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and cook for 3 minutes to allow the croissants to crisp and cookie dough to slightly melt.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the crookies from the air fryer and let them set for 5 minutes. This resting time helps the cookie dough firm up slightly for easier handling before serving.

Notes

  • Use store-bought or homemade chocolate chip cookie dough for best results.
  • The 3-minute air frying time is brief; croissant sizes and air fryer models may vary, so adjust time slightly if needed.
  • Letting the crookies cool briefly is important to avoid burning due to the hot melted dough.
  • These treats are best enjoyed warm but can be stored in an airtight container and reheated gently.
