- Unsalted butter: 2 tablespoons (melted)
- Vanilla extract: 1/2 teaspoon
- Egg: 1 (beaten, for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar: For garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the filling:
- In a bowl, mix the chocolate chips, crushed cookies, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Roll out the dough:
- On a lightly floured surface, unroll the croissant dough. Cut it into triangles following the perforations if using store-bought dough.
- Fill the croissants:
- Place a spoonful of the cookie mixture at the base of each triangle. Roll the dough from the wide end to the pointed tip, enclosing the filling.
- Egg wash and bake:
