Ingredients

Scale

Croissant Base

  • Store-bought or homemade croissant dough (enough for 6-8 croissants)

Filling

  • Nutella (approximately 2 tablespoons per croissant)

Cookie Dough

  • Soft, slightly sweet cookie dough (enough to wrap each Nutella-filled croissant)

Finish

  • 1 egg (for egg wash, beaten)
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
  • Optional: chopped nuts for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the croissant dough into a manageable size. If using store-bought dough, ensure it is properly thawed and pliable. Divide the cookie dough into small balls that will be used to wrap around the croissant layers filled with Nutella.
  2. Add the Nutella Filling: Spread a generous spoonful (about 2 tablespoons) of Nutella onto each portion of croissant dough. Carefully wrap the cookie dough around the Nutella-filled croissant dough, making sure to seal the edges tightly to prevent leaks during baking.
  3. Assemble the Croissants: Shape the wrapped dough to resemble classic croissants, curving them slightly for that signature look. Place the assembled croissants on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  4. Apply Egg Wash and Bake: Lightly brush the tops of the croissants with beaten egg to achieve a golden, glossy finish. Bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 18 to 22 minutes or until the cookie dough is fully cooked through and the croissants have turned a rich golden color.
  5. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the croissants to cool slightly before serving. This resting time helps the Nutella filling thicken slightly while keeping its delicious gooey texture.

Notes

  • Keep the cookie dough slightly chilled to make it easier to wrap around the croissant and Nutella filling.
  • Use parchment paper on your baking tray to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
  • Do not overload with Nutella to avoid leakage during baking.
  • Brush the egg wash gently to prevent sogginess while achieving a golden finish.
  • Watch your baking time carefully as oven temperatures can vary to avoid overbaking.
