Croissants are already a well-loved bakery item that pair well with Nutella, fruit, ricotta, and even roasted peppers.
Now croissants are being combined with another delicious sweet treat, chocolate chip cookie dough. This delectable item is being called a “crookie” by people online.
What is a crookie? Viral chocolate chip cookie croissant detailed
The crookie first appeared at Boulangerie Louvard. Stéphane Louvard dreamed up the idea in 2022 to use two “flagship products” in the mixed pastry. The invention must have been a hit with diners, because it has stayed on the bakery’s menu since December 2023, per Good Morning America.
“Our pure butter croissant, awarded the 7th best croissant in the Île-de-France region in 2022, is made every morning with a 24-hour fermented milk sourdough and layered with Charente butter,” the bakery wrote in a December 2023 Instagram post.
“For our cookie dough, we use one of the best and purest chocolates in the world, from @xoco.gourmet.”

Add some tablespoons of chocolate chip cookie dough of your choice – it can be homemade or store-bought.
Close the croissant and put it in the oven to bake. Once the inside of the croissant is pretty much cooked, add some more cookie dough on top.
Put the pastry into the oven a final time to get a crisp cookie shell and gooey chocolate chip interior. For the final step, the treat is topped with a bit of powdered sugar.
