Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Cookie Croissant
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Slice each croissant in half lengthwise, keeping the halves connected to create a pocket for filling. Arrange them spaced apart on the sheet.
  2. Scoop about 2-3 tablespoons of cookie dough into each croissant pocket and gently press the halves back together. For extra indulgence, place a dollop of dough on top of each croissant.
  3. Make sure the stuffed croissants are well spaced on the baking sheet. Optionally, brush the tops with egg wash for a golden finish. Place them in the oven.
  4. Bake for approximately 12 minutes, monitoring their golden color. The croissants should be puffy and set, with a melty cookie filling.
  5. Transfer the baked croissants to a wire rack and cool for about 10 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
