The Croissookie
The Croissookie is a decadent pastry dessert that’s so much easier to make at home than it looks! Made with puff pastry dough, Oreos, and powdered sugar, it’s an easy but impressive treat!
I am a huge Supernatural fan! But unfortunately, the last year has left me with little time to watch my favorite shows and I’ve fallen greatly behind on some of my favorites. But this past weekend, I decided it was time to catch up, Matt and I were about a season behind in Supernatural, the last half of season 10, and what’s aired of season 11 – not okay.
I love Supernatural, but I personally felt that season 6 would have been the perfect series finale as it was originally intended to be. And for a few seasons after, when the fight between heaven and earth got a little out of control, I’d really wished it had ended.
But! In the last couple of seasons, it seems that it’s really started to find its groove again. With Castiel and Crowly becoming more prominent characters and filling the void of those we’ve lost and with new pop-in characters like Charlie, played by Felicia Day and Garth, played by DJ Qualls, the show has really gotten back to its dark and humorous roots!
Speaking the good stuff, Dean is a little more himself these days and back to eating the deliciousness that entitles him to take over for Guy Fieri on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. At the beginning of one of the episodes as I was catching up, Dean introduced me to this magnificent treat: The Croissookie!
- SAM: Hey. [He notices what Dean is eating.] What in the world?
- DEAN: A croissookie.
- SAM: A croissookie?
- DEAN: Mmhmm. Yeah, they’re the new cronuts.
- SAM: Okay. So, what? Half cookie, half –
- DEAN: Who gives a crap? They’re freakin’ awesome.
See Dean’s Croissookie here.
So obviously, I had to make this happen and I had to make it happen fast, I need this thing in my life! But here’s what kind of shocked me, this episode aired in Spring 2015, why aren’t people on this, why aren’t there recipes on every blog in the world by now. Am I the only blogger cool enough to watch Supernatural? Are they too hard to make? I did find that the original name follows the Cronut and the Cruffin and is actually referred to as a Crookie in the bakeries they’re served at, but honestly… Croissookie is way more fun, so I’m sticking to it!
These pictures look like these things just came out of some fancy bakery, right? But they’re actually pretty easy to make right at home! They’re ready in less than 30 minutes and only have 5 ingredients – Hello, AMAZINGNESS! Basically, you’re looking at a Double Stuf Oreo that’s been sandwiched between two circles of pastry dough, brushed with an egg wash, and baked. Then we finish it off with confectioners’ sugar, chocolate drizzle, and crushed Oreos. See, EASY!
Want to know what a Croissookie tastes like? Well, first of all, Dean is right, they do taste freakin’ awesome. But they actually taste like fried Oreos and they definitely need to be eaten warm for the ultimate Croissookie eating experience!

The Croissookie
Ingredients
- 1 large egg + a splash of water
- 1 package 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed, but cold.
- 13 Double Stuf Oreos divided
- Confectioners’ sugar
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or melting wafers
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Line large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Whisk together the egg and water, unfold pastry dough on a clean surface and brush with egg wash.
- Cut out 9 circles from each pastry sheet using a 2 5/8 inch round cookie cutter.
- Place one Oreo on 9 of the pastry circles, then place a pastry circle, egg wash side down, on top of the Oreo. Pinch together the circles, I found that folding one edge up and the other down over it worked best, pinching together as I worked around the Oreo.
- Place prepared pastry covered Oreos on the baking sheet at least 3 inches apart and brush the tops with more egg wash.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and dust with confectioners’ sugar.
- Chop the remaining Oreos into small pieces.
- Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave on 15-second intervals, stirring in between, should take about 45 seconds to melt. Add a dollop of melted chocolate to the top center of each pastry, then drizzle more all over each one.
- Add some of the crushed Oreos to each chocolate dollop so they stick. Enjoy warm.

Jaw dropping! I ever as a the should a but am completely going all in on these!
My question is are they still good leftover after we’ve consumed the warm ones? We have some grandkids with chocolate issues would vanilla cookies work?
They are definitely best fresh but you can store at room temp and reheat in the microwave. We have made them with other oreos flavors – the birthday cake with the golden oreos is another favorite of ours!
Rebecca, thank you so much for introducing me to this fantastic looking dessert. I have never imagined anything like it. A must try for anyone!
My daughter just made these yesterday! Wow! These are so delish!!! Even the boys quit stealing the Oreos when they saw what the finished product looked like. 😂 They decided that these would be worth waiting for!
I’m so glad you all enjoyed them – they are SO good!
Hi Rebecca: I saw Dean with the infamous croisookie and immediately found your recipe. Love that show and all of it’s characters. After Grim I’m glad I have Supernatural to watch! I too lovea good chocolate treat! Thanks again!
Yay, so glad you found my recipe. I love the show too, I can’t believe next season will be the last, but it sounds like you still have a few seasons ahead of you, so enjoy!
Do you think these would be good served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream? or any other ice cream
of course! Especially if they’re warm!
Oh man! I don’t have any puff pastry sheets or I would be making these right now! I need to go to the store, but this is happening soon. Thanks!
Holy smokes! Less than 30 minutes and only have 5 ingredients ~ I need this in my life!
Baklava all the way!!!
Could you put these together ahead of time and then slip them in the oven last minute?
Definitely, but you’ll want to store them in an air-tight container in the fridge and I wouldn’t brush the outer tops with eggwash until just before you put them in! Also, I would make them up too far in advance, maybe the night before or the morning of. Pastry dough can dry out easily.
I literally have no words for how amazing these look! You are a genius!
Thank you so much, Annie!
Oh thank god someone made it! Once Dean said it I grabbed my phone and began to search the net, very unsuccessful I might add. I just figured it was something tv land would have and we wouldn’t until now ? thank you. Can’t wait to make these x
I did the same thing! Not a Croissookie in sight! But I’m glad I was able to fix that problem and everyone enjoys them as much as Dean and I did!
I am a total Supernatural nerd as well, I love that show. I agree season 6 is where it should have ended. I kept watching because well lets face it Sam and Dean are good eye candy and I was a loyal fan but I did struggle with the whole Leviathan thing……. and Sam acing all weird on his return from Hell with his dead grandfather (all I could see was that he was that dude from the x files!) But you are right the good times have been rolling again with the show and have really enjoyed the last few season and what a treat this is I am running to the kitchen right now to make some 😀
RIGHT! The Leviathan storyline was so drawn out and dull, so glad they wrapped that up! But yeah, even when it’s not great, it’s still good because they’re fun to watch! I’m excited to see where we’re headed this season and I love that the individual episodes have started to have their own cases again, I really missed that for a while there! Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the Croissookies!
YUM ~ and how fun! They look amazing, Rebecca.
Thank you so much, Megin!
This looks like the best thing in the whole world! I need to try these asap!
They just might be, haha! But in all seriousness, yes, you do need to try these as soon as possible!
Love puff pastry anything! So much that I have a board on Pinterest dedicated to it! Pin, print, get me some puff pastry and bake these things!! Thanks so much!!
Thank you so much, Teri! This pastry is a real winner and I hope you get a chance to try it soon!
