Ingredients
6–8 butter croissants
170 g butter (3/4 cup, 1 ½ sticks), softened
150 g brown sugar (3/4 cup)
50 g granulated sugar (1/4 cup)
1 large egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
240 g all-purpose flour (2 cups)
170 g chocolate chunks (1 cup), preferably chopped from a high-quality chocolate bar
Instructions
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
2. Add egg and vanilla; mix on low until incorporated. Increase to medium-high and beat for 1 minute. Scrape bowl if needed.
3. Add cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix 30 seconds. Add flour 1 cup at a time, mixing until fully combined.
4. Fold in chocolate chunks by hand or mix briefly on low speed.
5. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
6. Slice croissants horizontally, leaving the back intact. Place on baking sheet.
7. Use about 1/2 cup cookie dough per croissant: spread a thin layer inside, close, and press remaining dough on top.
8. Bake 10–12 minutes until cookie tops are lightly golden.
9. Cool slightly before serving for that warm, gooey magic.
Notes
Tip: Use day-old croissants for the best texture—they hold their shape under the cookie dough.
For a Parisian touch, sprinkle with a little flaky sea salt before baking.
Serve warm for the ultimate gooey-meets-flaky experience.
These freeze beautifully—wrap individually and reheat in a low oven.
