A “crookie” is another word used to refer to the chocolate chip cookie croissant.
Cookie + croissant = Crookie
While the crookie has gone viral on Tiktok in recent weeks, it did not originate on Tiktok. The idea actually originated from a small bakery in Paris, France, called Maison Louvard. However, the delicious creation has made it’s way to America, and people can’t get enough.

How to Make the Cookie Croissant
Bake Croissants. If you bought frozen croissant dough, you’re going to want to make the croissants first and let them cool. Follow the directions on the box to bake.
Make the Cookie Dough. While the croissants are baking, make the chocolate chip cookie dough.
Slice and Stuff. Once the croissants and cookie dough are ready to go, its time to assemble the crookie. Start by slicing the croissant, stuff some cookie dough inside and press down gently to help the top and bottom stick together. Then, top the croissant with some more cookie dough.
Bake the Cookie Croissants. Bake the cookie croissants at 350ºF for 12 minutes. Let them cool for a few minutes, and enjoy!

Ingredients
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
3 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
2 sticks butter (chilled)
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp almond extract

Instructions
*If you’re using frozen croissant dough, follow the instructions on the package to bake them to perfection. Once they are done baking, begin following instructions here*
Make the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
- In a medium bowl, gently whisk together your flour, salt, baking powder. Set aside for later.
- Cube your chilled butter and toss in a standing mixer bowl. On low speed, cream your butter until it is a whipped texture.
- Add in your sugars and mix on medium speed until creamed together. Make sure all butter is evenly blended into the sugars.
- Add two eggs and almond extract to the creamed butter and mix on medium-high speed. Pour in your flour mixture in 1/3 portions, waiting to make sure the flour mixture is incorporated completely before adding more.
- Once your mixture is fully blended together, remove mixing bowl from the stand mixer. Add in your mini chocolate chips and mix until just combined.
- Wrap dough in cling plastic wrap and place in freezer for 30 minutes to chill.
Assemble the Cookie Croissants
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or Silpat mat.
- Slice the baked croissants in half. Stuff about 2 tbsp of cookie dough inside the croissant. Gently press down on the top to close it. Top the croissant with more cookie dough (about 1-2 more tbsp).
- Place 6 at a time on a cookie sheet (about 3 inches apart), bake for 12 minutes. If you like a gooeier, underbaked cookie, bake the them for 8 minutes.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea!
