These Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Twists combine the richness of chocolate chip cookie dough with the flaky, buttery texture of puff pastry. Perfect as a quick dessert or snack, these twists are easy to make and deliciously satisfying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet:

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Prepare the Pastry:

    • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth any creases.
  • Make the Chocolate Filling:

    • In a small bowl, combine chocolate chips, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is evenly combined.
  • Assemble the Twists:

    • Spread the chocolate mixture evenly over half of the pastry sheet. Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling to enclose it.
  • Cut and Twist:

    • Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the folded pastry into 1-inch strips.
    • Carefully twist each strip a few times to create a spiral shape. Place each twist on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
  • Egg Wash and Bake:

    • Brush each twist with the beaten egg to achieve a golden, glossy finish.
    • Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the twists are golden brown and puffed.
  • Serve:

    • Allow the twists to cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar for a finishing touch, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftover twists in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • Make Ahead: Assemble the twists and freeze them on a baking sheet. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
  • Variation: Add a tablespoon of chopped nuts to the filling for extra crunch, or substitute dark chocolate chips for a richer taste.
