FAQs

Can I use homemade cookie dough for this recipe?

Yes, homemade cookie dough works great. Just make sure it’s chilled for easier shaping and handling.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

• 12 tablespoons chocolate chip cookie dough (homemade or store-bought)

Instructions

1. Slice Croissants: Use a serrated knife to carefully slice each croissant open, creating a pocket for the cookie dough filling.
2. Fill with Cookie Dough: Scoop out 2 tablespoons of chocolate chip cookie dough, flatten it slightly, and press it firmly inside the cut croissant.
3. Close Croissants: Place the top half of the croissant back over the cookie dough, effectively enclosing it within.
4. Top with Cookie Dough: Flatten 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and place it on top of each croissant to add an extra layer of cookie goodness.
5. Air Fry: Arrange the filled croissants in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes until the croissants are golden and the cookie dough is cooked.
6. Rest and Serve: Remove the crookies from the air fryer and allow them to set for 5 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld and avoid burning from hot dough.

Notes

• You can use store-bought or homemade chocolate chip cookie dough for convenience.
• Make sure to flatten the cookie dough slightly to ensure even cooking inside the croissant.
• Resting the crookies after air frying helps the cookie dough set and prevents burns.
• Keep croissants small to ensure the cookie dough heats through properly within 3 minutes.
• Use a serrated knife for easier slicing of croissants without squishing them.
