Description
Golden puff pastry spirals filled with sweet, buttery chocolate chip cookie dough, baked until crisp on the outside and soft and gooey inside. Easy to make, irresistibly chocolatey, and perfect for sharing or sneaking a warm treat.
Ingredients
- Puff pastry sheets: 2 sheets, thawed but still cold
- All-purpose flour: 1 cup
- Unsalted butter: 1/2 cup (113 g), softened
- Brown sugar: 1/2 cup (100 g), packed
- Granulated sugar: 1/4 cup (50 g)
- Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- Mini chocolate chips: 3/4 cup (135 g)
- Egg: 1, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract, then add all-purpose flour and salt and mix until combined. Fold in mini chocolate chips to form the cookie dough filling.
- Roll out puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface if needed, keeping them cold. Gently flatten to an even rectangle if required.
- Spread the cookie dough mixture thinly and evenly over one puff pastry sheet, leaving a small border around the edges. Place the second puff pastry sheet on top and press lightly to seal. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the layered pastry into 1-inch wide strips.
- Twist each strip gently several times and place the twists on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Press the ends lightly onto the sheet so they do not unravel.
- Brush each twist with the beaten egg for a golden sheen. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the twists are puffed and golden brown.
- Allow twists to cool slightly on a rack so the filling sets a bit, then serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Keep puff pastry cold until just before assembly so it puffs properly in the oven.
- Use mini chocolate chips so the chocolate distributes evenly throughout the filling.
- For a glossy finish, brush with egg wash right before baking.
- To make ahead, prepare filling in advance or freeze assembled twists on a sheet, then bake from frozen adding a few extra minutes.
