Ingredients

For the Cookie Dough:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  
  

• ¾ cup granulated sugar
  
  

• ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  
  

• 2 large eggs
  
  

• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  
  

• 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
  
  

• 1 tsp baking soda
  
  

• ½ tsp salt
  
  

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  
  

For the Pastry:

• 1 sheet puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
  
  

• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  
  

• Extra chocolate chips for sprinkling
  
  

Directions

1. Prepare the Cookie Dough:
   
   

   • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
     
     

   • Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
     
     

   • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
     
     

   • Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.
     
     

2. Prepare the Pastry:
   
   

   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
     
     

   • Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle.
     
     

   • Cut the pastry into strips, about 1–2 inches wide.
     
     

3. Assemble the Twists:
   
   

   • Take a strip of pastry and place a spoonful of cookie dough along the center of the strip.
     
     

   • Fold the pastry over the dough and twist it gently to form a spiral. Place the twists on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
     
     

   • Brush each twist with the beaten egg and sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top for added sweetness.
     
     

4. Bake:
   
   

   • Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes or until the twists are golden brown and flaky.
     
     

   • Allow to cool slightly before serving.
