Air Fryer Crookies Recipe

4.6 from 58 reviews

Air Fryer Crookies are a delightful treat combining flaky croissants with rich chocolate chip cookie dough, air-fried to golden perfection for a warm, gooey dessert or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Croissants

  • 4 small croissants

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.
