Method
 

Preparing the Croissant Dough
  1. Activate the yeas: In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  2. Mix the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
  3. Knead and chill: Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Shape it into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. Incorporate the butter: Roll out the dough into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Lay the thin sheets of butter over two-thirds of the dough. Fold the dough into thirds.
  5. Laminate the dough: Roll out the folded dough and fold it into thirds again. Repeat this process 2-3 times, chilling the dough for 20 minutes between each fold.
  6. Final chill: Wrap the laminated dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Making the Cookie Filling
  1. Cream the butter and sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the room-temperature butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  3. Incorporate dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour and pinch of salt along with any desired add-ins. Mix until just combined.
  4. Shape and chill: Scoop the cookie dough into small balls and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
Assembling the Crookies
  1. Roll out the croissant dough: Roll the chilled dough into a rectangle, about ¼ inch thick.
  2. Cut the dough: Cut the dough into squares or circles.
  3. Add the cookie filling: Place a ball of chilled cookie dough in the center of each piece of croissant dough.
  4. Wrap and seal: Fold the dough around the cookie filling and pinch the edges to seal.
Baking to Perfection
  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Arrange and brush: Place the assembled crookies seam-side down on the sheet and brush the tops with an egg wash.
  3. Bake: Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Cool and serve: Allow the crookies to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep the butter cold for flaky layers, avoid overworking the dough, and monitor baking time.
