Instructions

Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
Roll and Cut Puff Pastry: Lightly flour a clean surface and gently roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to smooth any creases. Cut the pastry into 4 equal rectangles for individual crookies.
Add Filling: Place about 2 tablespoons of chocolate chip cookie dough in the center of each puff pastry rectangle.
Shape Pastry: Fold and shape each rectangle around the cookie dough into a crescent or roll shape. Seal the edges by pinching or tucking them underneath to enclose the dough securely.
Prepare for Baking: Arrange the shaped crookies on the prepared baking sheet. Beat the egg and brush it over the tops to give them a beautiful golden finish. Optionally, sprinkle extra chocolate chips or flaky sea salt on top for added flavor and texture.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20–22 minutes until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed up beautifully.
Cool and Serve: Allow the crookies to cool slightly before serving. The centers will remain deliciously gooey and warm.

Notes

If the dough becomes too soft during shaping, chill the assembled crookies in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before baking to help maintain their shape.
For a croissant-style version, cut the puff pastry into triangles and roll the cookie dough inside each triangle.
These crookies are best enjoyed warm for the gooey center and flaky pastry experience.
