Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (240 ml) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100 grams) brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (85 grams) chocolate chips

Liquid and Flavoring Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Leavening and Seasoning Ingredients:

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the kitchen workspace by heating the oven to a moderate temperature, ensuring an even cooking environment for the sweet treats.
  2. Transform softened butter and both sugar varieties into a creamy, aerated mixture using vigorous mixing techniques until the texture becomes light and voluminous.
  3. Introduce liquid elements – milk and aromatic vanilla extract – blending thoroughly to create a smooth, cohesive base.
  4. Construct the dry foundation by whisking flour, leavening agent, and seasoning in a separate vessel, ensuring uniform distribution of ingredients.
  5. Gently marry the wet and dry components, stirring with minimal manipulation to prevent overdeveloping gluten and maintain a tender texture.
  6. Generously disperse chocolate morsels throughout the dough, creating pockets of rich, melty goodness in each twist.
  7. Craft playful, intertwined shapes by expertly rolling and manipulating the dough into elegant, curled configurations.
  8. Arrange the sculptured twists on a parchment-protected baking surface, allowing adequate spacing for potential expansion.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven, monitoring closely until the edges transform into a golden-brown hue, indicating perfect doneness.
  10. Allow the freshly baked delicacies a brief resting period, permitting slight cooling to enhance structural integrity before serving.

Notes

  • Experiment with different chocolate chip varieties like dark, milk, or white chocolate for unique flavor profiles.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to maintain texture.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before twisting to prevent spreading and help maintain intricate shapes during baking.
  • Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking to enhance the sweet-salty contrast and elevate the cookie’s complexity.
