Viral Tiktok Cookie Croissant Crookies

These cookie croissants are possibly the best French-American collaboration since Hamilton and Lafayette. If you haven’t yet seen the videos of folks biting into buttery, shatteringly crisp croissants stuffed with warm, molten cookie dough, let me enlighten you. The original “Crookie” was created at the Boulangerie Louvard in Paris and seems to have gone viral after being shared by TikTok’er Anna Kloots. Although if someone shared it earlier, please let me know! I’m usually wary about a new food trend but these definitely do not disappoint. If you are a fan of chocolate chip cookies, cookie dough-inspired desserts, pain aux chocolate, cronuts, or even good old almond croissants, I’m confident you will enjoy these as much as we did. I’m obsessed. And for other TikTok famous recipes that are worth your while, be sure to try the TikTok Baked Feta Pasta, TikTok Beet Pasta, and TikTok Cinnamon Rolls.

The original bakery describes their “le crookie” as a “croissant pur beurre garnit d’une généreuse pâte à cookie mi-cuite”, which means “a pure butter croissant topped with a generous half-baked cookie dough.” Thank you Google Translate.

What You’ll Need

Croissants – I picked up a box of croissants from the Costco bakery for these and they were fantastic. It’s even okay to use day-old or frozen croissants for this because baking them with the cookie dough will freshen them right up. Cookie Dough – I made a half batch of my favorite chocolate chip cookie dough for these but any cookie dough would work. You could even use store-bought Nestle Tollhouse cookie dough rather than making your own.

Substitutions and Variations

Try a different type of cookie dough! I imagine these would be fantastic with snickerdoodle cookie dough, chocolate brownie cookie dough, and all kinds of other cookie doughs. Add nuts! I’m a huge fan of chopped walnuts in my chocolate chip cookies and they would work perfectly here as well. Even if you go with a store-bought tub of cookie dough, you can sprinkle some chopped walnuts on before sandwiching the croissant together and baking.
