CHOCOLATE CHIP KIT KAT COOKIES

By

I don’t know about you guys, but I hardly had any trick or treaters come to the door last week…which means that I was left with A LOT of leftover Halloween candy. In order to prevent myself from eating it all (chocolate is my weakness), I started looking up recipes for baked goods that incorporate candy. I found a Kit Kat Cookies Recipe that looked pretty good and gave it a try!

Ingredients

  • 2 sticks of unsalted butter, room temperature (or you can microwave then for 25 seconds to soften up)
  • 2 eggs plus 1 egg yolk
  • 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips (or you can just use two cups of milk chocolate chips)
  • 1 1/2 cup chopped Kit Kat bars
  • 3 cups of all purpose flour

Preparation

Step 1

Beat the sugar and butter together until nice and creamy, then beat in eggs and extra egg yolk, one at a time. Add in salt, baking soda and flour and beat lightly until thoroughly combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and Kit Kat bars – don’t beat them in, just stir with a spoon so that they don’t get broken up.

Refrigerate the dough for about two hours.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Scoop the dough by heaping tablespoons and roll into balls, placing about two inches apart on the cookie sheet. Bake for 8 minutes for tender and chewy cookies, or up to 10 minutes for crispier cookies.

Allow to cook for about ten minutes before devouring!

This recipe makes about two dozen cookies, depending on how big you make them!
