Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup cold water

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup chocolate cookie crumbs (or crushed Oreos)

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Sea salt flakes for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough: In a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, granulated sugar, and salt. Pulse to mix. Add the cold cubed butter. Process until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.

    Form the Dough: Gradually add cold water and vanilla extract, pulsing until the dough begins to come together. Do not overmix. Remove from the processor, shape into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

      Roll Out the Dough: After chilling, roll the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle approximately 1/4-inch thick.

        Add the Fillings: Sprinkle the chocolate cookie crumbs evenly over the rolled-out dough, pressing lightly into the surface. Then sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips over the cookie crumbs.

          Fold and Shape: Fold the dough into thirds, as you would a letter. Roll it out again into a rectangle, and then fold it again. Repeat this process (rolling and folding) two more times for extra layers.

            Cut and Form Croissants: Roll the dough one last time into a rectangle. Cut triangles about 4 inches wide. Starting from the base of each triangle, roll towards the tip to form croissants. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

              Brush and Chill: Brush each croissant with the beaten egg for a shiny finish. Optionally, sprinkle with sea salt flakes for a sweet-savory contrast. Chill the croissants in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes before baking.

                Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the croissants for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and flaky.

                  Cool and Serve: Allow the croissants to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven for the best taste.

                      - Presentation Tips: Serve warm on a beautiful platter with a dusting of powdered sugar on top. Pair with a side of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat!
