Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Twists

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Twists are a creative, crowd-pleasing dessert that brings together buttery pastry and rich chocolate chip cookie dough in a swirl of indulgence. These treats are a fun twist—literally—on traditional cookies and perfect for sharing at parties, holidays, or whenever you crave something sweet and different.

Ingredients

For the Cookie Dough:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated if needed)
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
• Pinch of salt

For the Twists:

• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• Optional: powdered sugar for dusting or melted chocolate for drizzling

Instructions

Prepare the cookie dough. In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and milk, mixing well. Stir in the flour and salt until a dough forms. Fold in the mini chocolate chips. Set aside or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes for easier handling.

Roll out the puff pastry. On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry sheet into a rectangle, about 10×12 inches. Spread the cookie dough evenly over half of the pastry, then fold the other half over the top, sandwiching the dough inside.

Cut and twist. Slice the filled pastry into 1-inch wide strips. Twist each strip gently a few times and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Brush and bake. Beat the egg and brush it over each twist. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 18–22 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.

Cool and serve. Allow to cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. Optional: dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate for an extra touch.
