Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until fully combined.
-
Stir in the chocolate chips, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Take small portions of dough and roll them into rope-like shapes. Twist them to create the “twist” shape.
-
Place the twists on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown, but the center remains soft.
-
Let the twists cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) to the dough for extra crunch.
Swap semisweet chocolate chips for milk or dark chocolate chips for a different flavor.
Drizzle melted chocolate over cooled twists for an indulgent touch.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to the dough for a subtle spiced flavor.
For a caramel twist, use caramel chips or swirl in caramel sauce before baking.
