If you are like me, then sometimes it's hard for you to pick which flavor chocolate or vanilla. That is why I created these delicious cookies! I came up with the name thinking of twist ice cream cones. That's often what people get when they can't pick, chocolate or vanilla? These are one of my favorite cookies! They are like an upgrade of chocolate chip cookies! I love giving people options with food and with these you get both options chocolate and vanilla, together in one amazing, soft, flavorful cookie! If you haven't noticed I love combining art and food and that's what I have tried to create here, something unique and made to impress, both in flavor and looks! These are luxurious! Also, you can make these cookies with all vanilla on one side and all chocolate on the other rather than chocolate dough with white chips and vanilla dough with chocolate chips.
