Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Gradually stir in the flour mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow it to firm up.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll small portions of dough into 6-inch ropes. Twist two ropes together gently and place on the prepared sheet. Leave space between each twist to allow spreading.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are golden brown and centers remain slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Do not skip the chilling step; it ensures the twists hold their shape.
For a softer texture, remove the twists from the oven as soon as the edges are golden.
Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough for a warm spice flavor.
