• 1¼ teaspoons baking powder
  
  

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
  
  

• 1 teaspoon salt
  
  

• 1 cup (2 sticks or 226g) unsalted butter, softened
  
  

• 1½ cups (288g) light or dark brown sugar
  
  

• ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  
  

• 2 large eggs, room temperature
  
  

• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  
  

• 1¼ cups (225g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  
  

For the Croissants:

• 15 regular-sized croissants
  
  

Optional:

• Powdered sugar, for dusting
  
  

Directions:

1. Prepare the Cookie Dough:
   
   

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
     
     

   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
     
     

   • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy and well combined.
     
     

   • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
     
     

   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
     
     

   • Fold in the chocolate chips.
     
     

2. Assemble the Croissants:
   
   

   • Using a serrated knife, slice each croissant in half horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through.
     
     

   • Scoop a generous amount of cookie dough and gently press it into the center of each croissant.
     
     

   • Place the filled croissants on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
     
     

3. Bake:
   
   

   • Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and the cookie dough is set.
     
     

   • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack.
     
     

4. Serve:
   
   

   • Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
     
     

   • Enjoy warm for the best experience.
