This Cookie Puff Pastry is what happens when cookie dough and puff pastry come together in the most delicious way. If you loved the crookie, you need to try this! Store-bought cookie dough gets flattened right onto a sheet of puff pastry, pressed in nice and snug, then sliced into strips and rolled up like little cinnamon rolls. Tucked into a buttered muffin tin, they bake up into gorgeous golden swirls with flaky, buttery layers and gooey cookie dough throughout. The secret to making sure the cookie dough is fully baked and not raw in the center is baking at a lower temperature of 325°F for a full 30 minutes. This gives the cookie dough time to cook through without burning the puff pastry. Topped with crumbled cookie pieces, chocolate chips, a pinch of flaky sea salt, and a dusting of powdered sugar, these are the ultimate sweet treat. They're flaky, they're buttery, they're loaded with cookie, and they absolutely deserve their own moment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is the cookie dough raw in the middle?Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet?
A: Baking at too high a temperature can cause the puff pastry to brown quickly on the outside while the cookie dough inside stays underbaked. That's why we bake at 325°F for 30 minutes. The lower temperature gives the cookie dough enough time to bake all the way through without burning the puff pastry. Make sure your oven is properly preheated and avoid opening the door too often during baking.
Q: Can I use homemade cookie dough instead of store-bought?
A: Absolutely! Homemade cookie dough works great. Just make sure it's a dough that's firm enough to flatten and press onto the puff pastry without being too sticky. Chill your homemade dough for about 30 minutes before using so it's easier to work with.
Q: Can I make these ahead of time?
A: You can assemble them and keep them in the muffin tin covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking. When ready, brush with egg wash, add your toppings, and bake as directed. You may need to add a couple extra minutes to the bake time since they're starting cold.
Q: How should I store leftovers?
A: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, pop them in the oven or air fryer at 325°F for 5-7 minutes to get them crispy again. The microwave will work in a pinch but they won't be as flaky.
Cookie Puff Pastry is flaky puff pastry rolled up with cookie dough, baked in a buttered muffin tin until golden, and topped with cookie crumbles, chocolate chips, flaky sea salt, and powdered sugar. Think of it as the crookie's fancy cousin. Buttery, crispy, and absolutely irresistible.

Ingredients
Ingredients:
Butter, for greasing muffin tins 2 frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed according to package directions 2 (16 oz) packages chocolate chip cookie dough, divided 1 large egg 1 tablespoon milk of choice Crumbled cookie pieces, for topping Chocolate chips, for topping Flaky sea salt, for topping Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Butter 2 standard muffin pans generously and set aside.
- Lightly roll out 1 puff pastry sheet on a piece of parchment paper with a rolling pin.
- Take three-quarters of 1 cookie dough package and divide the dough into medium-sized balls. Use your hands to press and flatten the balls, then scatter the pieces onto the puff pastry sheet. Press the cookie dough into the puff pastry so it sticks.
- Cut the puff pastry sheet in half lengthwise, then cut each strip in half. Cut each strip in half one more time to get 8 equal-sized strips.
- Roll up each strip like a cinnamon roll and place into a prepared muffin well. Repeat with the remaining strips.
- Repeat steps 2 to 5 with the remaining puff pastry sheet and cookie dough package.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.
- Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of each cookie puff pastry with egg wash. Top each one with crumbled cookie pieces, a few chocolate chips, and a pinch of flaky sea salt.
- Bake for 30 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the cookie dough is fully baked through.
- Allow to cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes, then remove to a plate and dust with powdered sugar.
- Serve warm, and enjoy!
Cooking hacks and tips
- Baking at 325°F is the key to making sure the cookie dough cooks all the way through without the puff pastry burning.
- Buttering the muffin tin adds extra flavor and helps them release easily.
- Let your puff pastry thaw just enough to be pliable but still cold. If it gets too warm, it'll be sticky and hard to work with.
- Don't overfill the cookie dough layer. A thin, even layer ensures everything bakes evenly.
- Reserve some cookie dough from each package specifically for the toppings.
- These are best served warm when the layers are still flaky and the cookie is gooey.
- The flaky sea salt on top makes a huge difference. That sweet and salty combo is everything.
- Try with different cookie dough flavors like double chocolate, snickerdoodle, or sugar cookie for fun variations.
