Ingredients

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

Optional Substitutions:

  • For a nutty twist, add 1 tablespoon of chopped nuts like pecans or almonds.
  • Use dairy-free chocolate chips to make this recipe vegan-friendly.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pastry Base

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth any creases.

Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough Filling

In a small bowl, mix together chocolate chips, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is evenly combined.

Step 3: Assemble the Twists

  1. Spread the chocolate chip mixture evenly over one half of the pastry sheet.
  2. Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling to enclose it.

Step 4: Cut and Twist

  1. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the folded pastry into 1-inch strips.
  2. Carefully twist each strip a few times to create a spiral shape. Place each twist on the baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.

Step 5: Egg Wash and Bake

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

Step 6: Serve

Allow the twists to cool slightly before dusting them with powdered sugar. Serve warm for an ooey-gooey chocolate experience or at room temperature for a convenient on-the-go snack.

Notes

  • Use Quality Puff Pastry: The flavor of your twists largely depends on the quality of the pastry, so opt for a buttery brand.
  • Chill the Dough if Needed: If the dough becomes too soft while assembling, a quick chill in the refrigerator can make it easier to handle.
  • Avoid Overstuffing: While tempting, adding too much filling can cause the twists to unravel. Keep it balanced!
