Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- ½ cup (120 ml / 4 fl oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup (50 g / 1.75 oz) brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.17 fl oz) vanilla extract
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Pastry Foundation: Roll out puff pastry on a flour-dusted surface, smoothing any wrinkles to create an even canvas.
- Flavor Fusion: Combine chocolate chips, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract into a rich, cohesive filling mixture.
- Assembly Technique: Spread the chocolate mixture across half the pastry sheet, then fold the remaining pastry over to create a sealed packet.
- Shaping Artistry: Slice the folded pastry into strips, twisting each one into elegant spirals and arranging them on the baking sheet with slight spacing.
- Finishing Touch: Brush twists with beaten egg for a golden glaze, then bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes until puffed and bronzed.
- Serving Suggestion: Allow twists to cool slightly, optionally dust with powdered sugar, and serve warm or at room temperature for maximum enjoyment.
Notes
- Pastry Perfection: Ensure puff pastry is at cool room temperature for easier rolling and better texture.
- Even Distribution: Spread chocolate chip mixture uniformly to guarantee consistent flavor in every twist.
- Twist Technique: Twist strips gently but firmly to create attractive spirals without tearing the delicate pastry.
- Temperature Control: Watch cookies closely during baking to prevent burning, as ovens vary in heat intensity.
