Step 3: Prepare the Pastry
- Preheat oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Roll out both puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface to smooth creases.
- Spread the cookie dough mixture evenly over one sheet of pastry.
- Place the second sheet on top, pressing lightly to seal.
Step 4: Cut and Twist
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the pastry into 1-inch-wide strips.
- Hold each strip at both ends and gently twist several times.
- Place the twists on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.
Step 5: Egg Wash & Bake
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water.
