Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup of unsalted butter, ¾ cup of brown sugar, and ¾ cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix on low speed until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in 1 to 2 cups of chocolate chips and any optional mix-ins.
  7. Scoop portions of the dough and roll them into long ropes, twisting them into spirals on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers appear set.
  9. Let the twists cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
