02 - In a mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
03 - Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
04 - Mix in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until just incorporated, then fold in the chocolate chips.
05 - Roll out the croissant dough on a lightly floured surface and cut into 8 triangles.
06 - Place a generous tablespoon of cookie dough at the wide end of each triangle, then roll up from the wide end to encase the filling.
07 - Arrange crookies seam side down on the prepared baking tray, brush with beaten egg if desired, and sprinkle with extra chocolate chips.
08 - Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until golden brown and the pastry is cooked through.
09 - Allow to cool at least 10 minutes to achieve optimal texture before serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Buttery flaky layers meet warm gooey cookie centers in every single bite
  • Easier than they look and they disappear faster than you can bake them
02 -
  • Work quickly with the puff pastry because warm dough becomes impossible to handle and loses its flake
  • The cookie dough expands while baking so do not overfill or you will have exploding crookies
03 -
  • Chill the cookie dough for 15 minutes before filling if your kitchen is warm so it does not melt the pastry
  • Use kitchen shears to cut the dough instead of a knife for cleaner edges that seal better
