    Unleash the magic of Kit Kat bars by incorporating them into soft, chewy cookies for a truly unforgettable treat in our easy Kit Kat Cookies recipe!

    Guess what, folks! Last year, I barely had any trick or treaters show up at my door, leaving me with an abundance of leftover Halloween candy.

    Now, here's the thing: chocolate is my ultimate weakness, and I absolutely cannot resist indulging. So, to keep myself from devouring it all, I started scouring the internet for delectable recipes that incorporate candy.

    Why You Will Love Our Recipe for Kit Kat Cookies

    Lo and behold, I stumbled upon a Candy Bar Cookies Recipe that immediately caught my eye.

    Need I say more? I simply had to give it a whirl using our leftover Kit Kats and I think that I've found my favorite new cookie recipe!

    Unfortunately, now I have these incredibly delicious Kit Kat Cookies that I have to avoid eating...I should have just left well enough alone with the plain old candy!

    Ever since I found a bag of Nestle Dark Chocolate Chips I've been adding them into everything I can!

    The Secret Behind These Kit Kat Cookies

    I personally L O V E chewy cookies. I kind of hate crispy cookies. So I added an extra egg yolk to my dough.

    Did you know that the white part of the egg is what firms a cookie up and makes it crispy? When you just use a yolk, it adds moisture and yields a more chewy cookie.

    Yum! I've only ever tried adding one extra yolk, so I don't know what would happen if you added TWO extra ones.

    And of course, if you don't like chewy cookies, you can just omit that extra egg yolk altogether.

    A Note About Our KitKat Cookies Recipe

    I chopped my Kit Kat bars into five pieces, but you can chop them smaller or larger if you like. I wanted big enough pieces that I would actually get a piece of Kit Kat bar in a bite.

    But if you just want the flavor in the cookies, it would be fine to chop them up smaller. If you are making larger cookies, you can chop them into larger pieces too, of course.

    How to make Kit Kat Cookies

    Ingredients you will need to make our Kit Kat Treats

    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
    ¾ cup granulated sugar
    ¾ teaspoon salt
    ¾ 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 ½ cup chopped Kit Kat bars
    3 cups of all purpose flour

    measuring cup filled with chocolate candies

    Directions for how to make our Kit Kat Dessert recipe

    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 cool on a wire cooling rack for about ten minutes before devouring!

    This recipe makes about two dozen cookies, depending on how big you make the Kit Kat Cookies!
