Ingredients
Scale
Croissants
- 4 small croissants
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
- 12 tablespoons chocolate chip cookie dough (homemade or store-bought)
Instructions
- Slice the Croissants: Using a serrated knife, carefully slice each croissant open horizontally, creating a pocket without cutting all the way through.
- Prepare the Cookie Dough Filling: Scoop out 2 tablespoons of chocolate chip cookie dough per croissant. Flatten the dough slightly to help it mold into the croissant interior. Press the dough evenly into the inside of each sliced croissant.
- Seal the Croissants: Close each croissant by placing the top part back over the cookie dough, encasing the filling securely inside.
- Add Topping Cookie Dough: Take 1 tablespoon of cookie dough per croissant, flatten it slightly, and place it on top of each closed croissant to create an extra cookie dough topping.
- Air Fry the Crookies: Place the prepared crookies in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes, allowing the croissants to become golden brown and the cookie dough to slightly melt.
- Cool and Serve: Carefully remove the crookies from the air fryer and allow them to set for 5 minutes. This resting time will help the cookie dough firm up slightly and make the crookies easier to enjoy.
Notes
- For cookie dough, use edible, egg-free cookie dough if consuming raw dough is a concern.
- Make sure to not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
- Cooling time is key; eating too soon may result in very hot, melty dough that can be messy.
- If using frozen croissants, thaw them before preparation for best results.
