Butter. I use salted butter in this recipe because that’s my personal preference, but you can absolutely use unsalted butter if you prefer. No need to increase any additional salt. Sugars: I use a combination of both light brown sugar and granulated sugar in this cookie recipe. Egg: This recipe calls for 1 whole large egg AND an additional egg yolk. Save that extra white for an omelette! Vanilla extract. You can also ise vanilla bean paste. Dry Ingredients: Kosher salt, baking soda, and all purpose flour Kit Kat Candy. You’re going to chop up the Kit Kat bars and mix them right into the cookie dough. I like to chop up some extras to press into the cookies when they’re baked to give them that bakery look! Melted chocolate. The unique thing about this recipe is you swirl melted chocolate right into the cookie dough which gives it a marbled look. Just make sure not to over-mix it when you add the chocolate or you won’t get those pretty ribbons throughout! You can use either milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate. I prefer semi-sweet as it adds more flavor!
How To Make Kit Kat Cookies
The idea behind this thick, soft cookie recipe is that the base would be a buttery cookie dough, a lot like a chocolate chip cookie, with melted chocolate swirled all through the dough!
Start by making the cookie dough. This is a fairly straight-forward cookie recipe that requires you to use a stand mixer or a hand-held electric mixer.
Swirl in the melted chocolate: Simply melt some chocolate chips, or chopped chocolate in the microwave or on the stove top and drizzle that into the cookie dough. Using the handle of a wooden spoon swirl the chocolate into the dough create ribbons of chocoalte throughout. Try not to over-mix it because you really want to see the swirls!
Use a large cookie scoop to drop the dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet, allowing them room to spread as they bake. Once they’re baked you can press any extra chopped Kit Kats into the tops to look pretty and give a little crunch!
