MADISON, Ala. (TENNESSEE VALLEY LIVING) - With a motto that says “baked with love,” and a backstory behind the business that’s just as sweet, Heartbaker Bakery is reaching the soul of the city, one treat at a time!
Owner Lucia Lissandrelli stopped by the TVL kitchen to share her recipe for Cookie Dough Croissants.
The recipe is as follows:
Ingredients:
- 1 bag of chocolate chip cookie dough (HeartBaker)
- 4 butter Croissants (HeartBaker)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
Instructions:
1. In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over high heat until the mixture reaches a gentle boil and forms a light syrup. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
2. Slice each croissant horizontally, as if preparing a sandwich. Lightly dip the cut sides of each croissant into the syrup.

4. Arrange the prepared croissants on a baking tray.
5. Bake at 350°F for approximately 12 minutes, or until golden
