The newest focus of Internet fame is the "crookie," a croissant-cookie dough combination that may remind you of Dominique Ansel's famous Cronut but is, indeed, so much more decadent.
TikTok and Instagram are filled with clips of folks creating their own versions of the treat, but NYC restaurants are all-in on the trend as well. Settepani Bakery at the Time Out Market New York, for example, is offering a unique rainbow cookie croissant until the end of the month that people are going gaga over.
The eatery also serves a more traditional version of the baked good, featuring chocolate chip cookie dough baked inside a regular croissant. Yum.
Given the success of both Crookie iterations, the bakery has created yet another treat, this one made with delicious Kinder Bueno and served this weekend only at all three Settepani locations in Brooklyn and Harlem: 196 Lenox Avenue, 601 Lorimer Street and the Time Out Market.
As made apparent in the photos, the Crookie oozes soft chocolate that pairs perfectly with the crunchiness of the croissant. Yes, we're perennially on a health-focused diet, but if you're going to have a cheat day, it should include this sweet delicacy that is actually deserving of all the viral attention it is getting.
