To make a crookie, you need simple ingredients. Start with 1 cup of all-purpose flour. This gives the crookie its base. You also need 1/2 cup of cold butter, cut into small cubes. The butter adds richness. Next, use 1/4 cup each of granulated and brown sugar for sweetness. Don’t forget 1/2 cup of powdered sugar; this helps with texture. You will need some salt, baking powder, and baking soda to help it rise. A large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract provide flavor. Finally, add 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of crushed nuts, if you want.

Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup butter, cold and cubed

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 large egg, beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup chocolate chips (dark or milk, your choice)

1/2 cup crushed nuts (optional, like pecans or almonds)

1 egg wash (1 beaten egg mixed with a splash of milk)

Instructions
 

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.

    Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use your fingertips to crumble the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

      In a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and vanilla extract. Add this mixture into the flour mixture and stir until a dough begins to form.

        Gently fold in the chocolate chips and crushed nuts if using, mixing until just incorporated.

          On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Fold the dough over itself in thirds, like a letter, then wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

            Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

              After chilling, take the dough out of the refrigerator and roll it out again into a large rectangle. Cut the rectangle into triangles (similar to how you would for traditional croissants).

                Starting from the wide end of each triangle, roll the dough towards the pointed end to form a croissant shape. Place each rolled croissant on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.

                  Brush each croissant with the egg wash to give them a glossy finish.

                    Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed up.

                      Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.
