KIT KAT COOKIES.
Big. Buttery. And loaded with chocolate. You’re going to love this one bowl cookie recipe – no mixer required.
Let’s eat Kit Kat Chocolate Chip Cookies 👊🏻
I’m addicted to making cookies with melted butter. Have you tried it before?
Just like my Rolo Cookies, these Kit Kat Cookies are soft and chewy and they come together in minutes. Seriously.
Using melted butter means not only can you leave the electric mixer behind, but it ensures a soft and chewy cookie with crispy edges. My favourite kind 💕
The only catch is you do need to chill the dough. This will ensure it has time to firm up, so the cookies don’t spread too much when baking, and the flavours can merge together. You only need to chill them for one hour and it is most definitely worth it – trust me.
If you’ve never had a Kit Kat in a cookie before, you are seriously missing out. These wafer chocolates are delicious wrapped in cookie dough, especially warm from the oven.
Tips for making perfect Kit Kat Cookies
- These Kit Kat Cookies are made with *almost* melted butter. Use the microwave to melt the butter but don’t heat it until it’s hot and bubbly, just until it’s almost melted and use a fork to gently stir it until smooth.
- Using melted butter means these cookies have to be chilled before baking. If you don’t chill the dough, you run the risk of the cookies spreading too much when baked.
- To make your cookies look like mine, make sure you set aside a few chocolate chips and Kit Kat pieces to place on top of the cookies while they are still warm.
- If you like your cookies thin and crispy, you can add 1/4 cup less flour but I love these cookies just the way they are! They have crispy golden edges and soft centres oozing with chocolate.

Hi…… what if you do not have caster sugar available? Also, light or brown sugar?
Hi Olivia, you can swap granulated sugar for caster sugar. And either light or dark brown sugar is fine.
First time baking anything ever, and now I’m hooked. Love love love the easiness of this recipe. The cookies turned out GREAT!!!…..
