Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Twists (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Dough

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
03 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
04 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
06 - 1/3 cup milk, plus more if needed

→ Cookie Dough Filling

07 - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
08 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
09 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
10 - 2 tablespoons brown sugar
11 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 - 1/4 cup chocolate chips

→ Topping

13 - 1 large egg, whisked with 1 tablespoon of water (for egg wash)
14 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

# Instructions:

01 - In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add milk, mixing until a dough forms. If necessary, add more milk. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
02 - In a separate bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and flour, mixing until a thick, pliable dough forms. Fold in chocolate chips and set aside.
03 - Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to a rectangle, approximately 1/8 inch thick. Spread a thin layer of cookie dough filling on the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Cut the dough into 1-inch wide strips. Twist each strip and place on the prepared baking sheet.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk together the egg with water to create an egg wash. Brush each twist with the egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown. The cookie dough should be slightly set in the center.
05 - Cool the twists slightly before serving. Best enjoyed warm with a gooey chocolate center.

# Notes:

01 - Chill the dough to ensure easier handling and prevent stickiness.
02 - Avoid overfilling the cookie dough to prevent spillage during baking.
03 - Cut even strips for uniform baking and presentation.
04 - Add optional toppings like sea salt or melted chocolate for added flavor.
