Chocolate Chip Crescent Roll Cookies

C is for Chocolate Chip, Cookies and Crescent Rolls

Chocolate Chip Crescent Roll Cookies are a mashup dessert that combines flaky crescent dough with soft chocolate chip cookie dough. Rolled, sliced, and baked into golden swirls, they’re warm, gooey, and impossible to resist.

What You'll Need

• 1 can crescent rolls (8-oz tube)
• 17.5-ounce Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix
• 1 stick (½ cup) softened butter
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

How to Make Them

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Unroll the crescent rolls on a clean counter or lightly floured surface and gently pinch the seams together. Roll out slightly to smooth everything out.
   
3. Prepare the cookie dough according to package instructions, adding vanilla extract if desired. Roll it out between two sheets of parchment paper to an even rectangle slightly smaller than the crescent dough.
   
   Remove the top parchment and place the cookie dough onto the crescent dough rectangle.
   
4. Roll the rectangle from the long edge like a jelly roll. Pinch the seams and ends to seal.
   
5. Cut the roll into about 12 slices, roughly 1 to 1.5 inches each, and place 6 on each baking sheet.
   
6. Bake the sheets one at a time for 14–17 minutes, or until golden brown. Check early, as edges can brown quickly. Let the cookies cool 5–10 minutes.
   

Tips

• Using a crescent dough sheet can save some work since you don’t have to pinch seams like with regular crescent roll triangles.
• For cleanest slices, use unflavored dental floss or a bench scraper.
• If baking two sheets at once, rotate and swap them halfway through to ensure even browning.
