Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Gradually add flour mixture to wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Gently fold in chocolate chips with a silicone spatula.
- Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough and roll into 6-inch logs. Gently twist each log to form spiral shapes.
- Place twists on prepared baking sheets, spacing 1 inch apart.
- Bake for 9-12 minutes until lightly golden at edges but still soft in center.
- Cool on baking sheet for 3-5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Don’t overwork the dough to maintain tender texture
- Use room temperature ingredients for smooth mixing
- Chill dough for 20-30 minutes if too sticky for easier twisting
- Watch bake time carefully – cookies should look slightly underbaked when removed
- Keep twists uniform in size for even baking
- Can substitute with gluten-free flour blend, dairy-free butter, or different chocolate chips
- Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week
