There's crispy, and then there's whatever is happening on top of this cookie choux. One tap and the craquelin topping shatters into a hundred tiny shards before giving way to a pillowy cream puff underneath — the kind of contrast that makes a dessert genuinely satisfying to watch, not just eat.
Cooking Tree has a real talent for turning humble bakery basics into something that looks like it belongs behind a glass case, and this one is no exception. The crackly top does all the visual heavy lifting, but it's the cream-filled interior that we suspect is the actual reason to make a batch.
