The so-called crookie first emerged at Boulangerie Louvard, located on Rue de Châteaudun in the 9th arrondissement, thanks to Stéphane Louvard, who came up with the idea in 2022 to use two \"flagship products\" in the hybrid pastry, which has remained on the bakery's menu since December 2023.

\"Our pure butter croissant, awarded the 7th best croissant in the Île-de-France region in 2022, is made every morning with a 24-hour fermented milk sourdough and layered with Charente butter,\" the bakery wrote in a translated post on Instagram back in December. \"For our cookie dough, we use one of the best and purest chocolates in the world, from @xoco.gourmet.\"

\"The concept was well received, so we're keeping it,\" the bakery added. \"Available every day in-store!\"

Recently, TikTok got a sniff of the sweet concept, prompting hundreds of home cooks and non-bakers alike to test the trend in their own kitchens, with their videos amassing millions of views online.

It's simple enough to execute: Using a serrated knife, cut open a croissant lengthwise, leaving a \"hinge\" at the back, add a couple tablespoons of your favorite homemade or store-bought chocolate chip cookie dough, shut the croissant and bake. Once the inside is mostly cooked, more cookie dough gets added on top and the baked good mashup goes back into the oven one final time to achieve a crispy cookie-shell exterior and warm, gooey, chocolate chip center. Finally, the treat is topped with a dusting of powdered sugar.
