Tips for making the best crookie cookie croissants.

When selecting croissant opt for large, all-butter croissants for the best flaky, rich base. Day-old croissants work great as they are firmer and can hold up better to the filling and baking process.

More helpful tips for you.

1. To keep the cookie dough from spreading, you can refrigerate it for 20 minutes or more before making this recipe. Also, try not to over-stuff the sliced croissants with cookie dough.
2. The cookie dough filling in the croissants will still be slightly underbaked after 10 minutes baking time. Continue baking for longer if you prefer the cookie dough to be fully baked.

Once the cookie croissants have fully cooled they can be stored in an airtight container. When properly stored, they can keep for up to three days at room temperature or frozen for up to a few months.
