Chef's tip

For an even more indulgent result, enjoy the crookies while still warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a glass of ice-cold milk.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

The unbaked crookie freezes well. Shape and freeze for up to 3 months in freezer bags. Bake straight from frozen, adjusting the baking time.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Not recommended for the finished baked product. The crookie quickly loses its crispy texture and freshness. The cookie dough keeps 3-4 days in the fridge in an airtight container.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

The cookie dough can be made the day before and kept chilled. Assembly and baking should be done just before eating.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Oven or air fryer at 160°C for 5-8 minutes to regain some crispness. Microwave not recommended, it softens.

Variations

Add extra chocolate chips on top.
Use ready-to-bake or already baked croissants.
Let cool for 5 minutes for a gooey center.

Mistakes to avoid

Splitting the croissant completely: open it without cutting it in two.
Overworking the cookie dough: mix just enough.
Serving piping hot: wait 5 minutes.

Frequently asked questions

What is a crookie?

The crookie pairs a crispy croissant with gooey chocolate chip cookie dough: the dough fills the inside of the croissant and covers it before baking.

How do you make the cookie dough?

Whisk the softened butter with the brown sugar and sugar, mix in the egg yolk and vanilla, then add the flour, baking soda and salt and finally the chocolate chips, mixing just enough.

How do you fill the croissants?

Gently open each croissant lengthwise with a knife without separating it, fill the inside with cookie dough, then spread the rest on top.

How long do you bake the crookies?

Place the croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15 to 18 minutes at 180 °C, until the cookie dough is golden and slightly crisp.
