Prep Time: 30 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: French
Serves: 12 croissants
Ingredients
- 1 package of crescent roll dough
- 1 cup cookie dough (prepared)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your croissants will bake evenly and become golden brown.
- Open the package of crescent roll dough carefully, and unroll it onto a clean, flat surface. You should see the dough separated into triangles.
- Take your prepared cookie dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. If your cookie dough is too soft, you can chill it in the refrigerator for a few minutes to make it easier to handle.
- Place a portion of cookie dough at the wide end of each crescent triangle. If desired, sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top of the cookie dough for extra flavor.
- Starting from the wide end, carefully roll the crescent dough over the cookie dough towards the pointed end, making sure to tuck in the sides as you roll to prevent the filling from spilling out.
- Once all croissants are rolled, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow for expansion during baking.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg to create an egg wash. Using a pastry brush, gently brush the egg wash over the tops of the croissants. This will give them a beautiful golden color when baked.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and puffed up.
- Once baked, remove the croissants from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet.
- After cooling slightly, dust the croissants with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation.
- Serve the Cookie Dough Croissants warm and enjoy the delightful combination of flaky pastry and gooey cookie dough!
Tips
- Chill Your Cookie Dough: For easier handling and cleaner rolling, refrigerate your cookie dough for 15-20 minutes before preparing.
- Even Distribution: Divide your cookie dough precisely to ensure each croissant gets an equal amount of deliciousness.
- Seal the Edges: When rolling, make sure to pinch the sides of the croissant to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- Egg Wash Technique: Apply the egg wash gently with a pastry brush for that perfect golden-brown shine.
- Don't Overbake: Watch your croissants closely after the 12-minute mark to prevent burning - every oven is slightly different!
- Serve Warm: These are best enjoyed slightly warm when the cookie dough is still soft and gooey.Pro Tip: For an extra indulgent twist, drizzle some melted chocolate or caramel over the finished croissants!
