Pistachio Cookie Croissant
28 July 2024
aka Pistachio Crookie
I’m sure we have all seen the viral chocolate chip crookie going around on social media, now let’s make it pistachio. For those not familiar with crookies, they’re essentially croissants filled with cookie dough. They’re sweet, delicious and ooey-gooey. If you love a half baked cookie and croissants, then this is the perfect treat for you!
There are 3 main components to this dish: The croissants, pistachio cream, and pistachio cookie dough.
- Croissants: day-old croissants work best! So this is a great recipe to use up any leftover stale croissants you have lying around and turn them into something even better. If you don’t have day-off croissants, you can definitely buy some and leave it on your kitchen bench overnight so they turn a bit soggy.
- Pistachio cream: you can find them in some supermarkets now or otherwise online. I also have a homemade pistachio cream recipe on this blog – just search for my dubai pistachio chocolate recipe for it!
- Pistachio cookie: this cookie recipe is good even on it’s own, you must try!
Ingredients
4 croissants
pistachio cream (you can buy in store or use my homemade pistachio cream recipe. Search for the Dubai Pistachio Chocolate Bar recipe!)
Pistachio Cookies:
115g butter, softened
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
125g plain flour
75g ground pistachio
1/2 cup chocolate chips
extra chopped pistachio for garnish
Method
- Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
- Pistachio Cookies: in a bowl, beat together the butter and sugars until pale and puffy. Add in the egg and mix until well combined. Add in the flour, ground pistachio, baking soda and mix well. Finally, add in the choc chips and mix well. Set aside
- Assemble: Cut your croissants in half. On the bottom half, pipe a layer of pistachio cream then followed by a layer of your pistachio cookie dough. Close the croissant with its top half and add a little bit more of the cookie dough on the top, generously sprinkle some chopped pistachios for garnish.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cookie dough on top of the croissant is cooked and slightly golden. Cool slightly then serve.
