For a cookie lover's dream come true, try these Kit-Kat Cookie Bars. Imagine a chewy cookie dough interspersed with mini Kit-Kats, each bite bursting with chocolatey delight. Bake these bars until golden and let them cool for a soft, chewy treat with that much-loved crunch. They're perfect for packing in lunches or for satisfying midday cravings with a sweet, satisfying snap.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, 1/3 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/3 cup of brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 large egg to the bowl and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in 1 cup of chopped mini Kit-Kat bars, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting them into squares.
Enjoy your Kit-Kat Cookie Bars with a glass of milk or as a delightful treat anytime!
