Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened softened to room temperature
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp cornstarch for extra softness
- 0.5 tsp baking soda
- 0.5 tsp kosher salt
- 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1.5 cup Kit Kat bars, chopped chopped into small pieces
- 0.25 tsp flaky sea salt optional, for topping
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth, scraping the bowl as needed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and kosher salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low just until combined; do not overmix.
- Fold in mini chocolate chips and 1.25 cups of the chopped Kit Kat, reserving 0.25 cup for topping.
- Scoop dough into 1.5 tablespoon portions and place 2 inches apart on prepared sheets. Gently press a few reserved Kit Kat pieces on top of each dough ball.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until edges are set and centers look slightly soft. Sprinkle lightly with flaky sea salt, if using.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra flavor, brown the butter and let it cool to room temperature before using. Dough can be chilled for 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
