Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 3 Kit Kat bars, chopped into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cookie dough: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to form the cookie dough.
  2. Fold in chopped Kit Kats: Gently fold the chopped Kit Kat pieces into the cookie dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout without overmixing to prevent breaking the candy bars excessively.
  3. Bake until set: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Shape the dough into rounded tablespoon-sized balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set but still soft. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, use fresh Kit Kat bars and avoid overmixing after adding them.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • You can substitute the Kit Kat bars with other chocolate wafer candies if desired.
  • For softer cookies, slightly underbake and let them finish setting during cooling.
