Ingredients
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
1 egg yolk + 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
Extra chocolate chips for topping (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add egg and vanilla extract; mix well.
4. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips. Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes.
6. Roll out the puff pastry slightly and cut into 8 triangles.
7. Place a heaping tablespoon of cookie dough at the wide end of each triangle. Roll up into croissant shapes.
8. Place croissants onto the prepared baking sheet, brush with egg wash, and sprinkle extra chocolate chips if desired.
9. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown.
10. Cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
Notes
Chill cookie dough before filling to prevent overspreading.
Swap chocolate chips for caramel, peanut butter, or Nutella for fun variations.
Best served fresh but can be reheated gently in the oven.
Freeze unbaked cookie croissants for easy baking anytime.
