Method
 

Prepare Croissant Dough
  1. In a bowl, combine warm milk with yeast and sugar. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and knead until a dough forms.
  3. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, place the cold butter in the center, and fold the dough over to encase the butter.
  4. Roll out and fold the dough in layers, repeating this process several times to create flaky layers.
  5. Chill the dough for about 1 hour.
Prepare Cookie Filling
  1. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar.
  2. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda, then gradually add to the wet ingredients.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed. Set aside.
Assemble and Bake
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Roll out the chilled croissant dough into a large sheet and cut into squares.
  3. Place a scoop of cookie filling in the center of each square and fold the dough over to seal.
  4. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown and flaky.
  5. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Crookies taste best when served warm. Experiment with different fillings such as Nutella, S'mores, or fruity preserves for unique variations.
