The flaky, iconic croissant, a staple of Parisian cafes is seeing a renaissance with help from the simple chocolate chip cookie.

In coffeeshops and bakeries around the world, the Crookie is one of the hottest new trends, and it’s apparently pretty delicious.

The addition of sweet and salty notes from a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie are melded with the buttery flakiness of a croissant.

Not to be confused with the Cronut, a croissant/donut, the Crookie may be short lived, but it’s fun while it lasts.

Are you all in on this trend, or will you be avoiding it at all costs?
