Ideal for a sweet snack or dessert, these cookies combine classic flavors with a fun twist for a satisfying homemade indulgence.


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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookie twists.
  2. 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.
  3. Add Liquids: Mix in the milk and vanilla extract thoroughly to combine all wet ingredients evenly.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
  5. 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.
  6. Shape Dough: Roll the dough into strips and twist each strip to create the distinctive twisted cookie shapes.
  7. Prepare for Baking: Place the twisted dough strips onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart to prevent sticking.
  8. 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.
