Ingredients
Making these rich Cookie-Filled Croissants will require the following:
Concerning the croissants:
- Perfect for holding the cookie filling, large croissants are light and flaky.
- Unsalted Butter : Softened for a creamy and smooth cookie dough.
- Granulated and brown sugars produce a wonderfully caramelized, chewy texture.
- Vanilla Extract : Enhances the sweetness and depth of flavour.
- Yolk from eggs helps the cookie dough bind.
For the Filling:
- The basis for the cookie dough filling is all-purpose flour.
- Baking Soda : Gives the dough a soft feel inside the croissant.
- Salt brings the sweetness into balance.
- Perfectly melted into the croissant are little chocolate chips.
- I added crunch and taste and crushed cookies (Oreos, chocolate chip cookies, or your preferred).
- Drizzled over the top for a finishing garnish is heavy cream.
- Powdered Sugar : Lightly powdered for a wonderful bakery-style touch.

Making Croissants With Cookie-filled Ingredients
Step 1: Prep the Oven
- Set the oven to 350°F (175°C), then line a parchment paper baking sheet.
Second: Create the Cookie Dough.
- Cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl till light and fluffy. Add egg yolk and vanilla essence until blended.
- Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt separately in a bowl; then, progressively stir this into the butter mixture. Fold in smashed cookies and tiny chocolate chips; then, set the dough aside.
Third step: stuffed the croissants.
- Being careful not to cut all the way through, slice each croissant in half lengthwise to create a pocket. Spoon plenty of cookie dough inside each croissant, then lightly push it to shut.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
- On the baking sheet, arrange the stuffed croissants; bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the croissants turn golden brown and the cookie dough is just slightly sticky.
Step 5: Add the Finishing Touches
- Warm the heavy cream and drizzle over the croissants for a further layer of richness. Dust with powdered sugar; present warm; savour!

Pro Advice on Creating the Recipe
While substantial cookie dough is fantastic, too much can overflow during baking.
- Purchase Good-Quality Croissants : Fresh, buttery croissants work best for this recipe.
- Slightly underbake for a gooey centre; bake for the lower time range if you enjoy extra melty cookie dough filling.
- Change the cookie dough for Nutella, peanut butter, or caramel for a creative variation.
Serving Method
- The ideal comforting combination is a cup of coffee or hot chocolate.
- This is a decadent treat with ice cream a scoop of vanilla or chocolate.
- Drizzled, for added luxury, with caramel or chocolate sauce.
- Whipped cream is a light, airy covering to counter the richness.
