These Chocolate Cookie Butter Twists are the perfect holiday sweet treat. Dairy-free and totally tasty dessert idea!
Today we are making a fun and simple vegan holiday dessert – Chocolate Cookie Butter Twists! If you’re like me and your baking skills are minimal, then these are for you! They only require 5 ingredients and no specific baking skills. They are also super kid-friendly! I tested out a batch of these with my nephew a couple weeks ago and he made them all on his own…with just a little direction from me 😉
Step One: Grab Your Ingredients
The ingredient list for this recipe is short and sweet. Here is what you need:
- puff pastry – thawed
- cookie butter
- chocolate chips – melted
- vegan butter – melted
- powdered sugar – for serving
The only thing you want to remember before starting this recipe is thawing the puff pastry. I usually do this by placing the frozen dough on my kitchen counter for 40-60 minutes.
Step Two: Assemble
I like to lay out a piece of parchment paper to assemble on. This keeps the dough from shifting around too much.
Unfold the puff pastry on the parchment paper and roll it out slightly with a rolling pin. To one half, spread out the cookie butter. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cookie butter. Fold the empty half of puff pastry over the filling and press the edges to seal.
Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into 12 strips – I like to score the dough before actually making the cut, that way you know you’re getting 12 equal pieces.
Twist each strip a couple of times and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with melted vegan butter and place in the oven, on the center rack, for 20 minutes.
Step Three: Serve
You’ll know they are done when the dough is slightly browned and your house smells amazing!
Transfer the the twists to a platter and dust them with powdered sugar.
These are the perfect addition to your holiday dessert table. They aren’t overly sweet, they are easy to make and even easier to eat!
Tips & Tricks
To melt the chocolate chips I place them in a microwave-safe container and microwave for 2-ish minutes, stirring every 30 seconds.
When looking for vegan chocolate chips, semi-sweet are usually safe. Just be sure to check the ingredient list for dairy before purchasing.
The cookie butter can be a little hard to spread at first. Just be patient and take your time to spread it to the edges.
