Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookie twists.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, creating a smooth base.
- Add Liquids: Mix in the milk and vanilla extract thoroughly to combine all wet ingredients evenly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredient mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
- Shape Dough: Roll the dough into strips and twist each strip to create the distinctive twisted cookie shapes.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the twisted dough strips onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart to prevent sticking.
- Bake: Bake the dough twists in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are lightly golden around the edges.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is properly softened for easier creaming and a better texture.
- Do not overmix the dough once the dry ingredients are added to avoid tough cookies.
- Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
