Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (150g) chopped Kit Kats
  • 1 cup (180g) chocolate chunks (semi-sweet or dark)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, and 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
  3. Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as it can make the cookies dense.
  6. Fold in 1 cup (180g) chocolate chunks and 1 cup (150g) chopped Kit Kats. Be gentle so the Kit Kat pieces stay intact.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the dough to avoid dense cookies.’, ‘Use room temperature ingredients for a consistent texture.’, ‘Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.’, ‘Press extra chocolate chunks and Kit Kat pieces onto the tops of the cookies before baking for a bakery-style look.’, ‘Double-check your oven temperature with an oven thermometer for accurate baking.’]
