Who does not like a delicious and decadent Almond Croissant? Or maybe I should ask, who loves an Almond Croissant but does not want to go through the hassle of making them? These Simple Almond Croissant Cookies have the ultimate rich flavour of an almond croissant minus the effort to make a batch of croissants.
About These Almond Croissant Cookies
- These Simple And Delicious Almond Croissant Cookies are seriously Simple to prepare and unbelievably delicious! Their name serves the flavour nicely.
- These blondies have a soft and flavourful body and are topped with crunchy golden Silvered Almonds. This will give these blondies a crunchy top that perfectly balances the soft inside texture.
- The cookies come together quickly, requiring only one hour of chilling to firm up the dough. Chilling the dough prevents the cookies from spreading too much.
- These cookies have the exact flavour of a decadent Almond Croissant. The ingredient list is simple; you may already have everything in your pantry.
- The list goes as follows: Butter, Brown and granulated sugar, All-purpose and Almond Flour, Baking powder, Baking Soda, Egg and Egg Yolk, Salt, Vanilla and Almond Extracts, Silvered Almonds and powdered sugar for topping.
How To Make These Cookies
- Beat the room temperature butter with both sugar until creamy and smooth.
- Add in the egg, yolk, vanilla and almond extract. Mix well until the mixture is evenly smooth.
- Sift all dry ingredients using a spatula and gently fold them into the mixture.
- Use a medium-sized ice cream scoop to make small balls of cookie dough.
- Roll the cookie dough balls in the silvered almond and place them on a baking sheet. Chill them for an hour.
- In the meantime, preheat the oven to 350F. Line a large baking sheet with Baking Mat or parchment paper.
- Place the cookie dough balls on the mat and leave two 2-inch gaps between them.
- Bake them for 10-12 minutes or until they look set on the edges and the almonds look slightly golden brown.
- Immediately after removing them from the oven, go around them to soften their edges, and top them with more almond flakes if needed.
- Let them cool down on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer them to the cooling rack to cool down completely.
- Sprinkle their top with powdered sugar.

I made almond croissant cookies earlier this year followimg a viral tik tok recipe and it was a bit of a fail, but this one did it! Almond extract is definitely the key. I love how in each step you show the measurements so i dont have to keep going back to the ingredient list. My dough ended up being quite moist, not sure what i did wrong thing, maybe I should’ve let it rest in the fridge longer because they did spread a little flat in my oven.I did leave my second tray in the oven for a few extra minutes and that batch ended up better, just a little more crunchy than chewy but still very good. My first batch ended up a greasy crumbley mess. Definitely think it was an error on my side, just not sure what it is? I used a food scale - not measuring cups which i find sometimes messes with recipes when the creator just converts cups to grams without testing.
I will try other recipes!

Hi Navneet, Thanks for your feedback.
I highly recommend using a kitchen scale for the flour, and for the other ingredients, it does not matter as much. There are two things I can talk about. 1- When it comes to AP flour, they may act differently in the oven, and if your cookies did not have enough structure, please add one or two tablespoons of flour 2- Make sure your oven temperature is accurate by using an oven thermometer. Lastly, leave the cookie dough balls in the fridge for at least two hours. Please let me know how that goes.Reply
