Ingredients

4 large croissants
½ cup salted butter, softened
⅔ cup brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour (188g)
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice croissants in half horizontally. Set aside.
Cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light, around 2-3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla extract. Mix again until combined, stopping to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl.
Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
Press about 3 tablespoons worth of the cookie dough onto the cut surface of each croissant.
Fold over the croissant to sandwich the cookie dough in the middle and press even more cookie dough on top by flattening out additional cookie dough and pressing it onto both sides of the top of the croissant.
Bake at 375°F for 12-14 minutes until golden brown on top. If you prefer your cookies more well-done then you will want to bake these even longer. Let them cool for 5-10 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar and serving warm!

Notes

Please Note: The middle is going to be undercooked (remember, the original bakery describes theirs as "half-baked"). It will be very hot and gooey but also underbaked and molten, even though the cookie dough on top of the croissant is golden brown. I understand that is not everyone's cup of tea. Please make adjustments to your bake time accordingly.
Storage: I recommend storing these in the fridge for up to 2-3 days once they have cooled, then reheating them in the air fryer or oven for a few minutes before enjoying them hot.
Make-Ahead: If you want to make these ahead of time and half them ready for a party, you can assemble the cookie croissants and refrigerate or even freeze them until ready to bake. No need to thaw if baking from frozen, but you will want to add an extra couple of minutes to the bake time.
