Kit Kat Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Kit Kats, mini chocolate chips, and white chocolate chunks, what more do you need? These cookies are made with a tasty brown butter method, and will leave your kitchen smelling like baking heaven! Gluten free method available.
Ingredients
56.5g unsalted butter
33.5g granulated sugar
75g brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
93g all-purpose flour (if using gluten free flour, substitute the same amount of flour and add 1/4 teaspoon of xanthan gum if your blend does not have it mixed in already)
77.5g Kit Kat strips broken into chunks (For gluten free, I used Schar brand gluten free twin bars)
42.5g white chocolate chips or chunks
14g mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Have heatproof bowl on standby. Cut up the butter into chunks and place in a light colored pan on medium heat. Continuously stir the butter for about 5-8 minutes until the butter turns golden brown and begins to smell caramelized. You will see a few milk solids and foam during this process, it is ok. Be sure to pour the butter immediately into the heatproof bowl when the butter is done browning, or else it will burn quickly. Let the butter cool for about 20-30 minutes before continuing to make the cookies.
Once the butter has cooled, mix in the sugar. Then, add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. Add the flour and baking soda and mix until everything is well incorporated.
Fold into the cookie dough 2/3rds of the Kit Kat chunks (about 52g), and 2/3rd of the white chocolate chunks (about 28g). Don’t over think this step, feel free to eyeball it!
Scoop 2 tablespoon sized cookie balls onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, or onto a plate with plastic wrap. Place in the freezer for at least 1 hour before baking (longer helps with the shape), or place in the fridge or freezer for longer until ready to bake.
Preheat the oven to 350F and place the cookie dough balls on a cookie sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 12-15minutes. When the cookies come out of the oven, immediately throw on the remaining Kit Kat chunks, white chocolate chunks, and mini chocolate chips to decorate.
