Ingredients
- For the Dough:
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips
- For Optional Toppings:
- 1/4 cup Melted Chocolate
- 1/2 cup Chopped Nuts
- 1/2 cup Shredded Coconut
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a larger bowl, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until fluffy for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients until just combined, then fold in the semisweet chocolate chips.
- Divide the dough into two equal portions.
- Roll each portion into a rectangle about ½ inch thick on a floured surface.
- Cut 1-inch wide strips, twist two strips together, and seal the ends.
- Place the twists onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between them.
- Bake the twists for 9-11 minutes until golden edges appear; be careful not to overbake.
- Allow the twists to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- Drizzle with melted chocolate before serving.
Notes
- Optional: Sprinkle with sea salt for a contrast to the sweetness.
- For a denser option, substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
- Feel free to swap semisweet chocolate chips for milk, dark, or white chocolate chips.
