Can I make crookies ahead of time?

Absolutely! Make the cookie dough and prep the croissant base in advance. Store them separately in the fridge and assemble right before baking.

Do I have to use store-bought dough?

Nope! Homemade croissant dough gives an even flakier result, but store-bought is a great shortcut.

Yes! Freeze baked crookies in an airtight container. Just reheat before serving.

You can’t go wrong with chocolate chips, but caramel bits, coconut flakes, and chopped nuts are also delicious.

They’re best the day they’re baked but stay fresh for 2 to 3 days in an airtight container at room temp.

This crookie recipe combines flaky croissant dough with gooey chocolate chip cookie dough for the ultimate dessert mashup. Crispy, chewy, buttery

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the croissant dough and separate into triangles. Brush each triangle with melted butter.
Make the cookie dough: In a bowl, beat softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until smooth. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt, then fold in chocolate chips.
Assemble the crookies: Place a spoonful of cookie dough on the wide end of each croissant triangle. Roll it up like a normal croissant, leaving some cookie dough exposed at the top if desired.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the croissants are golden and the cookie dough is just set.
Cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. Add toppings if using, and enjoy warm!

Chill the cookie dough for 15–30 minutes if you want it to hold its shape better during baking.
You can make both the cookie dough and croissant base ahead and store separately until ready to assemble.
