Buttery, flaky croissants are filled with store bought cookie dough and baked until the cookie dough is warm and gooey and oh, so delicious.
It is no wonder the Cookie Croissant recipes have gone viral on Tiktok!
No baking experience needed, this recipe is so easy and only requires two ingredients!
I've seen these viral croissant cookies referred to as many things; cookie dough croissants, cookie croissants, croissant cookies and even crookies. I'm going simple and calling them cookie croissants, you know, because there's a cookie in and on the croissant.

Your girl loves a good take on a viral Tiktok recipe. Remember, I turned the viral baked feta pasta into a delicious baked goat cheese chicken dish and I love me some Pesto Fried Eggs and don't forget about the crispy Air Fryer Boursin Appetizer!
I haven't really done many of the Tiktok dessert recipes because I hate baking. All that measuring, ugh, not for me. But this two ingredient dessert recipe sounded easy enough to me.
And better yet, I can take a shortcut by using store bought cookie dough and store bought croissants! My kind of shortcut treat!

📋Ingredients
As I mentioned before, only two simple ingredients are needed to prepare the cookie croissants. I am using store prepared ingredients but if you'd like to use homemade chocolate chip cookie dough or homemade croissants, go right ahead!
- Cookie Dough - I prefer the ease of the type that comes divided up into squares.
- Croissants - Your preference, but I like the ones sold at BJ's Wholesale Club.

Break up another cookie dough square and arrange along the top of each croissant.
Bake in a preheated oven or air fryer. Enjoy warm.
💭Hint: If preparing the cookie croissants in an air fryer, remember, each air fryer cooks a little bit differently. The cook time listed refers to this Cosori Air Fryer.
