Croissants
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
- 12 tablespoons chocolate chip cookie dough (homemade or store-bought)
- Slice Croissants: Use a serrated knife to carefully slice each croissant open, creating a pocket for the cookie dough filling.
- Fill with Cookie Dough: Scoop out 2 tablespoons of chocolate chip cookie dough, flatten it slightly, and press it firmly inside the cut croissant.
- Close Croissants: Place the top half of the croissant back over the cookie dough, effectively enclosing it within.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
