Description
Cookie Croissants bring together the best of both worlds: the flaky, buttery texture of a croissant with the irresistible sweetness of a cookie. A perfect treat for breakfast, brunch, or as a sweet snack.
Ingredients
1 sheet of puff pastry dough
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into 8 triangular slices.
- In a bowl, mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the softened butter and vanilla extract to form a thick, dough-like consistency. Stir in the chocolate chips, if desired.
- Spoon a dollop of the cookie dough onto the wide end of each pastry triangle.
- Carefully roll each triangle up into a croissant shape, making sure the cookie dough stays inside.
- Place the croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Beat the egg and brush the tops of the croissants with the egg wash for a golden, shiny finish.
- Bake the croissants for about 15–20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.
- Let the croissants cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Store leftover Cookie Croissants in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- For extra crispiness, brush with more egg wash and bake a few extra minutes.
- Feel free to experiment with different fillings like fruit, nuts, or jam.
- You can freeze the uncooked croissants by assembling and freezing them on a baking sheet, then transferring to an airtight container or freezer bag.
