# Ingredients:
→ Essential Ingredients
01 -
6 to 8 flaky croissants
→ For Making the Dough
02 -
1½ sticks (3/4 cup) of butter, brought to room temperature
03 -
Packed brown sugar, 3/4 cup
04 -
1/4 cup granulated white sugar
05 -
One large egg
06 -
Vanilla extract, 2 teaspoons
07 -
Cornstarch, 2 teaspoons
08 -
Baking soda, 1 teaspoon
09 -
Half a teaspoon of salt
10 -
2 cups all-purpose flour
11 -
1 cup of chocolate chunks, roughly chopped
# Instructions:
01 -
Using the paddle attachment on your stand mixer, blend softened butter with white and brown sugar on medium speed. Let it whip for about three minutes until the mixture is fluffy and smooth.
02 -
Break an egg into the bowl and pour in the vanilla. Mix gently on low speed at first, then go a little faster (medium-high) for about a minute to combine completely.
03 -
Gather the baking soda, cornflour, and salt. Stir them in for 30 seconds. Gradually add the flour, about a cup at a time, making sure it blends in before adding more.
04 -
Throw in the chopped chocolate and gently fold it in using a spatula. Alternatively, you can set the mixer to a low speed for a short time to do this.
05 -
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Get a baking sheet ready by covering it with parchment paper.
06 -
Take a serrated knife and carefully slice each croissant open along one side. Make sure they open like a book but stay held together at the back. Put them on the prepared baking sheet.
07 -
Take a half-cup of cookie dough for each croissant. First, spread a thin layer inside on both sides. Press the croissant back together gently once you've finished.
08 -
Flatten small pieces of the remaining dough with your hands, then place them over the tops of the croissants. Cover both ends evenly and repeat until all of them are done.
09 -
Pop the tray into the oven and bake for around 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye out—the dough topping should turn a nice light gold, but don’t overdo it.
10 -
Remove the croissants from the oven and let them cool a little before serving. Best when still warm!
# Notes:
01 -
Le Crookie is a popular Paris-inspired pastry that combines flaky croissants with gooey, chocolate-filled cookie dough.
02 -
For the best results, use freshly baked croissants and chop high-quality chocolate instead of using prepackaged chips.
