Chocolate Chip Dough Twists (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Dough

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 cup butter
03 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
04 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
06 - 1/2 cup milk

→ Cookie Dough Filling

07 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
08 - 1/4 cup butter
09 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
10 - 1/4 cup brown sugar
11 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 - 1/3 cup chocolate chips

→ Topping

13 - 1 egg
14 - 1 tablespoon water
15 - 1 tablespoon 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 your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add milk, mixing until a dough forms. 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 and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and flour; mix until fully combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and set aside.
03 - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick. Spread the cookie dough filling evenly over the dough, leaving 1 inch around the edges. Cut the dough into 1-inch-wide strips. Twist each strip several times and place on the prepared baking sheet.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the twists with the egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and the centers are slightly set.
05 - Let the twists cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best experience, ensuring the chocolate centers remain gooey and delicious.

# Notes:

01 - Chill the dough for easier handling and to prevent stickiness.
02 - Do not overfill the dough to prevent leakage during baking.
03 - Cut uniform strips to ensure even baking and consistent appearance.
04 - Add sea salt or drizzle melted chocolate after baking for extra flavor.
