Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Ensure butter is at room temperature
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs Ensure eggs are at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips These can be swapped for other types of chocolate chips if desired

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Allow your butter to soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until smooth and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then add the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the dough.
Baking
  1. Scoop out portions of dough (around 2 tablespoons each) and roll them into long strips. Twist them to create spirals.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the twists on a lined baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart.
  3. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden and crispy outside, yet chewy inside.
  4. Allow twists to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for a week. For longer storage, freeze twists for up to 3 months.
