If you haven’t yet met the crookie, the viral TikTok sensation, you’re in for a real treat. This cross between a croissant and a cookie delivers a delightful contrast of textures and flavors.
Enjoy it with a steaming latte and a generous scoop of ice cream for the ultimate indulgence. No wonder bakeries in Paris and food creators on TikTok have fallen for this trend.
The best part: this recipe uses only two ingredients (both can be store-bought) and takes less than 20 minutes from start to finish—perfect for satisfying a sudden sweet craving.
What is a crookie?
A crookie is exactly what it sounds like: a croissant filled with cookie dough and baked until the pastry is crisp and the cookie is molten and gooey. The result combines the flaky layers of a croissant with warm, melty cookie centers—pure comfort in every bite.
Ingredients
- Cookie dough: Use store-bought cookie dough or your favorite homemade dough.
- Croissants: Pre-baked mini or regular croissants from the bakery section.
How to make the trending TikTok crookie
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Slice each croissant lengthwise to create a pocket. Fill the interior with cookie dough.
- Press or flatten a little extra cookie dough on top of the croissant to seal and add a cookie layer.
- 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? Use your judgment—mini croissants need less dough, while larger croissants can hold more. Adjust based on size and how indulgent you want them to be.
Serving suggestions: Serve crookies warm with ice cream, a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce, whipped cream, or chopped nuts. They also pair beautifully with coffee or a latte.
