Ingredients
For the dough: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup cold butter, 1/2 cup cold water. For the filling: 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons heavy cream.
Instructions
To make the dough, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Cut the butter into cubes and add to the flour mixture. Using your hands, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Slowly add the cold water while stirring with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
After the dough has chilled, remove it from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces. In a separate bowl, mix the chocolate chips, sugar, butter, and heavy cream until combined. Place about 1 tablespoon of the chocolate mixture in the center of each piece of dough. Fold each piece of dough in half and press the edges together to seal. Place the crescent rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit or until golden brown.
Equipment
To make chocolate crescent rolls, you will need a large bowl, a wooden spoon, a rolling pin, a cutting board, a knife, a parchment-lined baking sheet, and an oven.
Notes
It is important to chill the dough before rolling it out, as this will help ensure it is flaky and buttery. Be sure not to overfill the crescents, as the filling will spill out while baking. If you are not a fan of semi-sweet chocolate chips, you can use any type of chocolate chips or even chopped nuts.
