Ingredients

• For the Cookie Dough:
  
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
    
    

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
    
    

  • ¾ cup brown sugar (packed)
    
    

  • 2 large eggs
    
    

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    
    

  • 2 ¼ 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 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.
   
   

2. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
   
   

3. Prepare the Pastry: Preheat the 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).
   
   

4. Assemble the Twists: Place a spoonful of cookie dough along the center of each pastry 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.
   
   

5. Bake: Brush each twist with the beaten egg and sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the twists are golden brown and flaky.
   
   

6. Let the twists cool slightly before serving.
