Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla to the mixture, and mix until well combined. Incorporate baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the wet ingredients, stirring until evenly distributed. Gradually add all-purpose flour to the mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms. Gently fold in chocolate chips until they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Croissants:Unpack your store-bought croissants and cut them in half like you would if you we're going to make a sandwich. Scoop a generous portion of cookie dough into each one, and gently press down to close the croissant. Don't forget to add a little extra on top for good measure! Place them on a baking sheet and pop them into the oven for 14 minutes, or until they're golden brown and irresistibly fragrant.
Crescent Roll Dough:Roll out your store-bought crescent roll dough and place a chilled, pre-rolled cookie dough slice onto it. Carefully roll up the dough, enclosing the cookie dough within. Bake them at 375°F (190°C) for 14 minutes until they're beautifully golden and crispy on the outside.
Puff Pastry Dough:Roll out your store-bought puff pastry dough and layer flattened cookie dough on top. Roll it into a pinwheel shape, then slice it into individual pieces. Spray a muffin tin and place the rolls into each cavern. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes until they're golden brown and perfectly puffed up.
