Here’s a fun and easy recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Twists that blends the chewy texture of cookie dough with a delicious, twisty presentation! 🍪🥨
Ingredients:
-
For the Cookie Dough:
-
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
-
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
-
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
-
1/4 cup granulated sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
2 tablespoons milk
-
3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
-
-
For the Twists:
-
1 sheet of store-bought puff pastry (or you can make your own)
-
1 egg (for egg wash)
-
1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for sprinkling)
-
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Cookie Dough:
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
-
Add in the vanilla extract and milk, mixing until well combined.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
-
Stir in the mini chocolate chips. The dough should be slightly thick but pliable.
2. Prepare the Puff Pastry:
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. If it’s too thick, you can roll it out a little thinner.
-
Cut the pastry into strips about 1 inch wide.
3. Assemble the Twists:
-
Take a small spoonful of the cookie dough and place it at the edge of each puff pastry strip. You want a thin line of dough running along the center of the strip.
-
Fold the pastry over the dough to create a little “pocket” with the cookie dough inside.
-
Twist the strips to form a spiral or twist shape.
-
Place the twists on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Egg Wash:
-
Beat the egg and brush it lightly over the tops of the pastry twists.
-
Optionally, sprinkle a little sugar on top for a sweet, golden finish.
5. Bake:
-
Bake the twists in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
-
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
6. Serve:
-
These chocolate chip cookie dough twists are best enjoyed warm. They’ll have the delicious flavor of cookie dough, but with the crispy, buttery layers of puff pastry!
