# Ingredients:

→ Main Components

01 - 6-8 buttery croissants

→ For the Dough

02 - 170g softened butter (1½ sticks)
03 - 150g packed brown sugar
04 - 50g white sugar
05 - 1 large egg
06 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
07 - 2 teaspoons cornflour
08 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
09 - ½ teaspoon salt
10 - 250g all-purpose flour
11 - 175g high-quality chocolate chunks, chopped

# Instructions:

01 - Using a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream softened butter with white and brown sugars on medium speed until fluffy and smooth, approximately 3 minutes.
02 - Incorporate egg and vanilla extract at low speed until combined, then increase to medium-high for one minute to fully integrate.
03 - Scrape down bowl sides if necessary. Add baking soda, salt, and cornflour first, mixing for 30 seconds. Gradually incorporate flour about 125g at a time until completely combined.
04 - Fold in chopped chocolate chunks using a spatula, or mix on low speed until evenly distributed throughout dough.
05 - Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
06 - Using a serrated knife, slice croissants along one side to create a book-like opening, being careful not to cut completely through. Place on prepared baking sheet.
07 - Measure approximately 120g of cookie dough for each croissant. Spread a thin, even layer inside each opened croissant before gently closing.
08 - With remaining portion of allocated dough, form flattened pieces and place on outer tops of croissants at both ends. Continue until all croissants are filled and topped.
09 - Bake the filled croissants for 10-12 minutes, until cookie dough turns light golden. Avoid overbaking.
10 - Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm.

# Notes:

01 - This trendy Parisian pastry hybrid combines buttery croissants with classic chocolate chip cookie dough for a decadent treat that's crisp outside and soft inside.
