Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour Can be swapped with whole wheat flour.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda Essential for helping cookies rise.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances flavor and balances sweetness.
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter Adds richness; margarine works in a pinch.
  • ¾ cup Granulated sugar Delightful sweetness; substitute with coconut sugar for a lower glycemic option.
  • ¾ cup Brown sugar Moisture and caramel flavor; use light or dark as preferred.
  • 2 large Large eggs Ensure at room temperature for a smoother mix.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Rich flavor infusion; almond extract can be an aromatic alternative.
  • 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips Swap for milk, dark, or white chocolate chips.
For Optional Toppings
  • ½ cup Melted chocolate Drizzle for indulgence.
  • ¼ cup Caramel sauce Adds a sweet, gooey touch.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt, and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the unsalted butter with both sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then blend in vanilla.
  4. Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll each out on a floured surface into a ½ inch thick rectangle and cut into 1-inch wide strips. Twist two strips together and place on prepared baking sheets.
  6. Bake for 9-11 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers remain soft. Do not overbake.
  7. Let the twists cool for about 5 minutes on the sheets before transferring to a wire rack. Drizzle with melted chocolate if desired.

Notes

Chilling the dough for 15-20 minutes before shaping can help maintain their shape. Watch baking time closely to ensure a chewy texture.
