→ Other

09 - 5 croissants
10 - Sea salt (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Heat butter in a saucepan over low heat until it sizzles and bubbles. Continue heating until the moisture evaporates and sizzling stops. Cook for 1-2 minutes more until the milk solids turn brown, then remove from heat immediately to prevent burning.
02 - Transfer the brown butter to a heatproof mixing bowl and allow to cool. Whisk in sugar and brown sugar until combined. Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly.
03 - Sift flour and baking soda into the mixing bowl and stir gently. Fold in 60g of chocolate chips until just combined.
04 - Slice each croissant in half. Flatten 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and place inside each croissant. Add more chocolate chips before closing the croissant. Top each croissant with another 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and additional chocolate chips for visual appeal.
05 - Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Place the assembled crookies on a baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes until golden brown. Cool for 2-5 minutes before transferring to wire racks. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired.

# Notes:

01 - Keep a close eye on the butter while browning to prevent burning.
02 - Adding extra chocolate chips on top creates a more visually appealing finished product.
