What is a crookie?

A crookie combines a pre-baked croissant and cookie dough. You slice a croissant, stuff it with cookie dough, top it with more dough, and bake until the croissant is crisp and the cookie is gooey and golden. The result is a flaky exterior with a soft, chocolate-filled center.

Ingredients

• Cookie dough: Store-bought cookie dough works perfectly, or use a homemade dough if you prefer.
• Croissants: Use mini or regular pre-baked croissants from the bakery section of your grocery store.

How to make the trending TikTok crookie

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cut a lengthwise slit in each croissant. Stuff the cavity with cookie dough.
3. Flatten a bit of cookie dough and press it on top of each filled croissant.
4. Bake for 10–15 minutes at 350°F, until the croissant is golden and the cookie dough is set but still gooey.

How much cookie dough to use? Adjust by size: use less for mini croissants and more for larger ones. Trust your taste—fill to your preferred level of gooeyness.

Serving ideas: Crookies are excellent with ice cream, a hot coffee or latte. Finish with chocolate syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, whipped cream, or chopped nuts to boost flavor and texture.
