As someone who could put cookie dough on almost anything, TikTok's recent obsession with cookie dough croissants comes as no surprise. With almond croissants and chocolate croissants already staples of bakery menus, it was really only a matter of time before they started experimenting and adding cookie dough to their croissants, too. In my opinion though, croissants are grossly overrated.
If I step into a bakery, the French breakfast item is probably the last thing I'm ordering. So when I decided to taste test the cookie dough croissants recently trending on TikTok, I wasn't sure how I'd like it. Of course, I knew I'd love the cookie part, but I didn't want the flakiness of the croissant to take away from the gooey sweetness of the dough.
Fortunately, that wasn't the case. When I bit into the croissant fresh out of the oven, the sweetness of the barely-cooked cookie dough and the crispness of the croissant melted in my mouth. The flavors didn't work against each other like I imagined they would.
Instead, the cookie dough and croissant complemented each other almost perfectly. It was like a sweet dessert sandwich that satisfied both sides of savory and sweet goodness. Clearly, when TikTok tells you to put cookie dough on a croissant, you should put cookie dough on a croissant.
Fortunately for all of you who don't have the time or patience to make or , this cookie dough croissant recipe couldn't be any easier. It only requires two ingredients: a croissant and some cookie dough..
