πŸ”ͺ Instructions

Step 1: Heat-Treat the Flour

To make the cookie dough safe to eat raw:

  1. Spread the flour on a baking sheet and bake at 350Β°F (175Β°C) for 5 minutes, or microwave in a bowl for 1 minute.
  2. Let cool completely.

Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough Filling

  1. In a medium bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add vanilla extract and milk, mixing well.
  3. Stir in heat-treated flour and salt until smooth.
  4. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
  5. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm it slightly.

Step 3: Prepare the Pastry

  1. Preheat oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out both puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface to smooth creases.
  3. Spread the cookie dough mixture evenly over one sheet of pastry.
  4. Place the second sheet on top, pressing lightly to seal.

Step 4: Cut and Twist

  1. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the pastry into 1-inch-wide strips.
  2. Hold each strip at both ends and gently twist several times.
  3. Place the twists on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.

Step 5: Egg Wash & Bake

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water.
  2. Brush over the tops of the twists for a golden shine.
  3. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.

Step 6: Finish & Serve

  1. Let cool slightly on a rack.
  2. Drizzle with melted chocolate or a sugar glaze if desired.
  3. Serve warm or at room temperature β€” soft, sweet, and irresistible! πŸͺ✨

πŸ’‘ Tips & Variations

  • Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a sweet–salty combo.
  • Use Nutella or peanut butter along with the dough for a fun twist.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze up to 1 month.
