• Prep Time: 20 minutes
• Cook Time: 15 minutes
• Total Time: 35 minutes
• Yield: 10–12 twists

Ingredients

• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup mini chocolate chips
• 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mix butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and flour until smooth. Fold in chocolate chips to create a soft cookie dough.
3. Roll out the puff pastry and spread the cookie dough mixture evenly over half of the sheet. Fold the other half over the filling to cover.
4. Cut the dough into 1-inch wide strips. Twist each strip a few times and place on the baking sheet.
5. Brush the twists with a beaten egg for a golden finish.
6. Bake for 14–16 minutes or until puffed and lightly golden. Cool slightly before serving.

Troubleshooting & Consistency Tips

• Dough too soft? Chill it briefly before spreading on the pastry.
• Puff pastry tearing? Work with cold dough and use gentle handling.
• Too much spread? Don’t overfill; use a thin, even layer of cookie dough.

Storage & Make-Ahead

• Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Reheat: Warm in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes to crisp back up.
• Make-Ahead: You can assemble and freeze raw twists. Bake directly from frozen with 5 extra minutes.
