Chocolate Chip Kit Kat Cookies . . . A yummy update on traditional chocolate chip cookies, with a fun crunch that you will love!
I LOVE baking cookies, and one of my favorite things to do is experiment with adding different types of candy to our chocolate chip cookies. This time I opted for Kit Kats, and the results were spectacular!
I love the crunch of Kit Kats, and I thought they would be mighty tasty in a cookie. I was right. These cookies are soft, chewy, and crispy, all in one. I even used Rice Krispies in the dough, and they add even more fun crunch!
I like these cookies best served warm with the chocolate all warm and gooey. But they are also great after they cool and the crunch is more pronounced. Either way, they just scream for a glass of cold milk!
I like to save a few of the chopped candy bars to place on top of the cookies right before baking. It also works to place a piece of Kit Kat in the middle of the hot cookies as soon as you pull them out of the oven.
Either way, it gives people a little hint of the type of goodness they are about to stuff into their mouths. 🙂

Can you freeze them?
Yes, I freeze cookies all the time! I like to freeze them in ziplock bags so I can squeeze out the air as I remove cookies. Keeps them more fresh! They usually last 5-6 months, but we always eat them before then. 🙂
Just made this for the first time and it is definitely one I am going to try again! These KitKat cookies turned out amazing.
So happy to hear that Natasha!
Kit Kats were a childhood favorite of mine! Love that you incorporated them into a cookie recipe. YUM!
So glad you loved them Agnes!!
There is nothing better than adding candy bars to cookies! We love kit kats! These cookies are gone the moment I take them out of the oven!
Yes, more chocolate is always a win in my book! My mom used to make cookies with Almond Joy candy bars and they were so good!
