Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

3. Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface and smooth the creases with a rolling pin.
4. Spread the cookie dough mixture over half of the puff pastry sheet.

7. Twist each strip gently and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
8. Whisk the egg and brush over each twist for a golden finish.

Notes
Make sure the puff pastry is fully thawed but still cold to work with easily.
Don’t overfill the pastry or the twists may leak during baking.
For best texture, serve the twists slightly warm.
