Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large day old butter croissants
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 large egg for egg wash
  • 2 tbsp turbinado sugar for sprinkling

Method
 

  1. **Mix.** Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. In a second bowl beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar 2 minutes until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, beat until smooth.
  2. **Combine.** Stir flour mixture into butter mixture until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Chill 30 minutes.
  3. **Heat.** Preheat oven to 375F. Line a sheet pan with parchment.
  4. **Split.** Slice each croissant horizontally in half like a sandwich, leaving a hinge on one side.
  5. **Stuff.** Press 3 tablespoons cookie dough inside each croissant. Add another 2 tablespoons on top of each croissant.
  6. **Wash.** Brush croissant tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  7. **Bake.** Bake 12 to 14 minutes until croissant is deep mahogany and cookie dough on top is just set but still soft in the center.

Notes

Use day old croissants, not fresh. Fresh croissants steam and turn soggy under the cookie dough. Chill the cookie dough 30 minutes before stuffing so it does not slide out the sides. Bake on parchment paper, not foil. The cookie dough sticks to foil and tears when you lift it.
