Where to Find Croissant Cookies in Cairo - A Scene Eats Guide
Forget almond croissants and chocolate croissants – 2024 is all about cookie croissants. Here’s where to get yours.
It was the romance we never knew we needed.
Croissant is sophisticated, well-travelled, and layered. Cookie dough, your typical softboi. They said it could never last, they said it was just a trend – but these two found each other in the crazy bakery of life, and against all odds, they’ve brought us something that’s, well, pretty good, actually. Brangelina and Kimye might be over, but we have high hopes for the new celebrity couple of the food world: The Crookie.
A crookie (for those who don’t “get” Croissant and Cookie’s relationship) is what happens when you slice open a croissant and stuff it with sweet sweet chocolate chip cookie dough. When the tasty filling starts turning golden, you pop it out of the oven, top it with more dough, then put it back in and turn up the heat. The result? All the airy fluff of a perfect croissant with a soft, gooey centre and a yummy cookie coating. It’s so good, we’re wondering why Croissant didn’t dump Marzipan ages ago.
If you can’t afford a trip to France to find this decadent delight (that’s right, haters – the crookie trend started in a Parisian bakery, and you can back off), we’ve put together a list of some of the best spots in Cairo where you can get a taste of this scrumptious treat.
Weirdough | Delivers all over Cairo
First on the list is, maybe unsurprisingly, Weirdough. Crookie, we love you, but you’re a little odd, and Weirdough made a name for itself (literally) by rethinking the bakery game. This online bakery boasts cookies that are as chunky as they are tasty – and they are very, very chunky. Weirdough also carries other frankenfoods, like baklava tres leches cakes and their Cootayef – cookie dough-filled atayef.
