Prep Time: 20 mins (+ chilling) | Cook Time: 15 mins | Total Time: 1 hr

Makes: 12 twists

Ingredients

For the Cookie Dough Filling:

• ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
• ½ cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 2 tbsp milk (or heavy cream)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¾ cup (95g) all-purpose flour (heat-treated*)
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ cup (90g) mini chocolate chips

For the Pastry Twists:

• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• 2 tbsp coarse sugar (for sprinkling)

(Heat-treat flour: Microwave on high for 1 min, stirring every 15 sec, until 160°F/71°C.)*

Instructions

1. Make the Edible Cookie Dough:

1. Beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.
2. Mix in milk and vanilla.
3. Stir in heat-treated flour and salt, then fold in chocolate chips. Chill 15 mins.

2. Assemble the Twists:

1. Roll out puff pastry into a 10×12-inch rectangle.
2. Spread cookie dough evenly over half the pastry (lengthwise). Fold the other half over, sealing edges.
3. Cut into 12 strips. Twist each strip 3-4 times, then place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

3. Bake & Serve:

1. Brush twists with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
2. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 mins until golden.
3. Cool slightly—drizzle with melted chocolate if desired!

Pro Tips

✔ Keep dough cold for easier twisting.
✔ No puff pastry? Use crescent roll dough (unrolled and pressed into a sheet).
✔ Extra gooey: Add a chocolate chunk to the center of each twist before baking.
