Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup crushed chocolate cookies (such as Oreos)
• Non-stick spray or butter for waffle iron

Directions

2. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.
3. Roll out the crescent dough and cut it into small squares.
4. Place a spoonful of the cheesecake filling in the center of each square.
5. Fold the dough over and seal the edges to keep the filling inside.
6. Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with non-stick spray or butter.
7. Place the filled dough squares inside the waffle iron, closing it gently.
8. Cook until golden brown and crispy, which should take about four to five minutes for each batch.
9. Carefully remove the croffles from the waffle iron.
10. Sprinkle the crushed chocolate cookies on top and dust with powdered sugar before serving warm.

How to Serve Crispy Cheesecake Cookie Croffles

Serve these croffles warm with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar on top. They are great on their own, or you can pair them with a scoop of ice cream or fresh berries for extra flavor. You can also drizzle chocolate sauce or caramel sauce over them for an added treat!

How to Store Crispy Cheesecake Cookie Croffles

To store leftover croffles, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to three days. To reheat, you can pop them in the toaster or oven for a few minutes to regain their crispiness.

Tips to Make Crispy Cheesecake Cookie Croffles

• Make sure your cream cheese is softened before mixing to ensure a smooth filling.
• If the dough is sticky, sprinkle a little flour on your work surface to make it easier to handle.
• Don’t overfill the squares with cheesecake filling, as this can make them hard to seal.
• Keep an eye on the croffles while cooking, as waffle irons can vary in temperature.

Variation

You can customize these croffles by adding different mix-ins to the cheesecake filling. Try adding fruit like strawberries or blueberries, or use different flavors of cookies for the topping.
