Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper—this will help to ensure your twists don’t stick and come out perfectly golden. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy. This step is crucial because it creates a light texture that we all cherish in cookies. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. I love to sneak a little taste of the raw dough at this stage; it just makes me giddy! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
