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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
