Simple Ingredients for Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Twists
You probably have everything you need already! That’s my kind of recipe. No fancy trips to the store, just simple stuff you can find in any grocery store… or probably already have in your cupboard!
Ingredients for Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Twists
Alright, let’s talk ingredients! You’ll need one package (that’s 14.1 ounces!) of refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough – the kind in the tube is perfect. Then grab a quarter cup of all-purpose flour (just regular stuff!), two tablespoons of melted butter (microwave works great for this!), a quarter cup of sugar, and a teaspoon of ground cinnamon. That’s it! Told ya it was easy!
How to Prepare Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Twists
Okay, time to get twisting! Don’t worry, it’s way easier than it sounds. We’re gonna turn that humble tube of cookie dough into something amazing. First things first, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). That’s super important! You don’t want to put these babies in a cold oven, trust me. And, while that’s heating up, let’s get started on the magic.
Step-by-Step Guide to Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Twists
Alright, let’s break it down. First, grab a small bowl and mix together your sugar and cinnamon. Mmm, smells good already, right? Next, lightly flour your work surface. This stops the dough from sticking. Roll out that cookie dough into a rectangle, about 12×9 inches. Don’t stress if it’s not perfect! Now, brush the melted butter all over the dough. This is KEY for that golden-brown goodness. Sprinkle that cinnamon-sugar mix evenly over the butter. Yum! Now, cut the dough into strips – about 1-inch wide. Twist each strip and lay them on an ungreased baking sheet. Finally, bake for 8-10 minutes, until they’re golden brown. Keep an eye on ’em! Let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before you devour ’em. Seriously, try not to eat them all at once!
Tips for Achieving the Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Twists
Wanna make these *really* amazing? Don’t overbake them! Slightly golden is perfect. If you have parchment paper, use it! It makes cleanup a breeze. And letting them cool a bit on the baking sheet helps them firm up. Enjoy!
Variations on Your Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Twists
Okay, so you’ve mastered the basic twist? Awesome! Now let’s get a little crazy! A pinch of nutmeg in that cinnamon-sugar mixture? Wow! Trust me.
