→ Dough Mixture
01 -
3 ¼ cups (390g) plain flour
02 -
1 ¼ teaspoons of baking powder
03 -
1 teaspoon of baking soda
04 -
1 teaspoon of salt
05 -
1 cup (226g) of softened, unsalted butter (that’s 2 sticks)
06 -
1 ½ cups (288g) of soft brown sugar, light or dark works
07 -
½ cup (100g) of white sugar
08 -
2 large, room-temperature eggs
09 -
2 teaspoons of real vanilla flavoring
10 -
1 ¼ cups (225g) semi-sweet chocolate chip bits
→ Extras
11 -
15 standard croissants
12 -
Powdered sugar (optional, to sprinkle over baked treats)
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F (180°C) and cover a baking tray with parchment paper.
02 -
Combine the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a bowl. Give it a whisk and set it aside.
03 -
In a large bowl, beat together the butter and both sugars on medium with an electric mixer until creamy. This takes about 2 minutes. Crack in the eggs one at a time, mixing in between. Toss in the vanilla with the second egg and mix just until it’s blended.
04 -
Slowly add the dry mix into the creamy butter mixture while running the mixer on low. Stir in the chocolate chips gently or use the mixer to incorporate them.
05 -
Cut each croissant down the middle. Put about 2–3 pieces of cookie dough inside, then close them up and press some extra dough on top. Using larger chunks of dough will make the middle gooier. Personally, I use about 2 tablespoons inside and spread it thinner so more of it bakes evenly.
06 -
Arrange the cookie croissants on your prepped tray, leaving plenty of space between them. Bake for roughly 12 minutes in the oven you pre-heated earlier.
07 -
Transfer the croissants to a wire rack once they’re baked. Give them at least 10 minutes to cool before sprinkling with powdered sugar and enjoying!
# Notes:
01 -
You can skip making cookie dough from scratch and use store-bought chocolate chip cookie dough. A 16.5-ounce Toll House pack gives about 12 croissant cookies.
02 -
If using mini croissants, use less dough per croissant. You’ll have extra cookie dough to play with.
03 -
The extra dough works for cookies as well. Check out the full cookie baking instructions if needed.
04 -
The number of treats you get depends on how big the croissants are and how much dough you use per one. For standard croissants with about 4 tablespoons of dough, you’ll get around 15.
05 -
Store leftovers sealed up in an air-tight container at room temp for up to 2 days.
