A crookie is exactly what it sounds like, a croissant and a cookie in one. You stuff croissants with chocolate chip cookie dough, add a bit more on top, then cook them in the air fryer until the dough is gooey and the croissant is golden.
It is ready in about 20 minutes and uses just two things, croissants and a packet of cookie dough mix. A fun, indulgent treat for when you want something sweet without much effort.
Why You’ll Love It
This one’s a fun treat. It’s just two ingredients, ready in about 20 minutes, with a warm, gooey cookie centre, made in the air fryer. A croissant and a cookie in one.
The Shortcut That Makes It Work
Two ingredients and the air fryer. Ready-made croissants and a packet of cookie dough are all you need, and the air fryer cooks them in ten minutes.
Handy Tips
Make up the cookie dough following the packet first. Slice the croissants like you are making a little pocket for the dough. Use a thin layer inside so it cooks through, and a bit more on top for the cookie crust. Let them cool for a minute before you bite in, the dough is very hot.
Make It Your Way
Use homemade cookie dough if you have a favourite recipe, just make sure it is not too sticky to handle. No air fryer? Bake them in the oven at 180°C for about 15 minutes. Add a few extra chocolate chips on top before cooking.
How to Store It
Best eaten warm and fresh. Keep any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days and warm them briefly in the air fryer before serving.

Bake them in the oven at 180°C for about 15 minutes, until the croissants are golden.
Can I add extra chocolate?
Yes. Scatter a few extra chocolate chips on top before cooking.
