Scale
Ingredients
- 4 small croissants
- 12 tablespoons chocolate chip cookie dough (approximately 3 ounces)
Instructions
- Prepare the Croissants: Using a serrated knife, slice each croissant open carefully without cutting all the way through to create a pocket for the filling.
- Add Cookie Dough Inside: Scoop 2 tablespoons of chocolate chip cookie dough per croissant and flatten it slightly. Press this dough gently into the interior of each croissant to fill the pocket.
- Close the Croissants: Place the top half of each croissant over the cookie dough, enclosing the filling inside snugly.
- Top with Cookie Dough: Scoop out 1 tablespoon of cookie dough per croissant, flatten it slightly, and place it on top of each closed croissant for an extra cookie dough layer.
- Air Fry: Arrange the croissants in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and air fry for 3 minutes to crisp the outside and warm the cookie dough.
- Rest Before Serving: Remove the crookies from the air fryer and allow them to set for 5 minutes. This helps the chocolate chip cookie dough to firm up slightly for easy eating.
Notes
- You can use homemade or store-bought chocolate chip cookie dough; if using store-bought, ensure it’s ready to bake without eggs for safety if consuming slightly undercooked.
- Small croissants work best for individual serving sizes and shorter air frying times.
- Check your air fryer’s capacity; you may need to cook the crookies in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can affect crispiness.
- Allow cooling time after air frying as the melted cookie dough will be very hot.
- Optional: Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.
