Full Recipe:

Ingredients

• 2 ¼ cups all purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• ½ teaspoon salt

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

• ¾ cup granulated sugar

• ¾ cup packed brown sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

2. Prepare the Dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips.

3. Shape the Twists: Divide the dough into 2 portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a rectangle about ½ inch thick. Cut each rectangle into 1-inch wide strips. Take two strips and twist them together, pressing the ends to seal. Place the twists on the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.

4. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Be careful not to overbake these cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.

5. Serve and Enjoy: Let the twists cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve them as-is or drizzle with melted chocolate for an extra indulgence.
