Crookie
A crookie is the perfect fusion of a flaky, buttery croissant and a chewy, chocolate-filled cookie. The outer croissant layers are light and crispy, while the center is soft, gooey, and filled with chocolate chips. It’s a must-try pastry for anyone who loves the combination of these two iconic treats.
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Oven
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
Crookie Dough
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour sifted
- 1 cup Butter (unsalted) cold and cubed
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1 tbsp Heavy Cream
Instructions
- Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, cream cold butter with granulated and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla extract, then mix until fully incorporated.
- Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients until dough forms. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to firm up the butter and allow the layers to form.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and shape them into balls or flatten into discs. Place on the baking sheet with space between each.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers are soft. Cool on a wire rack.
Notes
For a twist, try adding caramel, dried fruit, or nuts to the filling. You can also experiment with dark or milk chocolate for different flavors.
