prepare the mini butter croissants: slice mini butter croissants in half, do not cut all the way
once cookie dough has chilled, preheat oven to 350F
assemble the croissant cookies: place about 2 tbsps of cookie dough in between sliced mini butter croissants. top croissant with small dollops of cookie dough
bake the croissant cookies: place assembled croissant cookies on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake for about 10-14 minutes in the oven. baking time will vary, keep an eye out and bake until cookie dough on top is slightly crisp & golden brown
once baked, sprinkle a generous amount of flaky sea salt on top and let croissant cookies cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes. then transfer to a wire rack
serve croissant cookies slightly warm and with a cup of milk
enjoy!
notes
feel free to replace the cookie dough recipe with your favorite cookie dough recipe !
the cookie dough inside will still be slightly gooey and under baked. if you do not like that texture, you can bake the croissant cookies without the croissant top (slice croissants all the way) or just bake without filling croissant with cookie dough - you will have a crispier croissant cookie
