Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 10-15 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Number of servings: Approximately 20 cookies

Ingredients

- 200 g butter (at room temperature)
- 200 g sugar
- 2 packets of bourbon vanilla sugar
- 2 eggs
- 400 g flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 140 g KitKat bars, finely chopped

Step-by-step guide

1. Preheating the oven
Start by preheating the oven to 200°C. This is an essential step, as a well-heated oven ensures even baking of the cookies.

2. Beating the butter and sugar
In a large bowl, place the softened butter and sugar. Use an electric mixer or a spatula to combine the ingredients. Beat the mixture until it becomes creamy and light in color, about 2-3 minutes. Adding bourbon vanilla sugar brings a deep flavor note that will enrich the taste of the cookies.

3. Adding the eggs
Incorporate the 2 eggs into the butter and sugar mixture, mixing well after each egg. Make sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. This step is crucial for achieving a fluffy texture.

4. Mixing the dry ingredients
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Mixing these dry ingredients before adding them to the wet mixture helps distribute the leavening agents evenly. This step is essential for achieving fluffy cookies.

5. The final combination
Fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet one, mixing gently with a spatula. It is important not to overmix, as this can lead to denser cookies. Finally, add the chopped KitKat bars, which will provide a crunchy texture and delicious flavor.

6. Shaping the cookies
Use a spoon or an ice cream scoop to form balls of dough. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving a distance of 3-4 cm between each ball, so the cookies have room to spread during baking.

7. Baking
Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 10-15 minutes, or until they turn golden and puff up slightly. You will smell the wonderful aroma of chocolate throughout the house!

8. Cooling and serving
Once the cookies are done, let them cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. These cookies are delicious both warm and at room temperature.

Practical tips

- Ingredients at room temperature: Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature to facilitate even mixing.
- KitKat bars: You can experiment with different KitKat flavors (for example, white chocolate or caramel) to vary the taste of the cookies.
- Storing the cookies: The cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week, but they are so good that they might not last that long!

Delicious pairings

These KitKat cookies pair perfectly with a cup of coffee or flavored tea. You can also serve them alongside vanilla ice cream for a special dessert that will delight your taste buds.

Nutritional benefits

Although these cookies are a treat, it is good to know that butter provides essential fatty acids, and chocolate contains antioxidants. Moderation is key, but enjoying a cookie now and then will not only satisfy your senses but also bring a little dose of happiness each day.

Frequently asked questions

- Can I use a different type of sugar?
Of course! You can replace white sugar with brown sugar for a more caramelized taste.

- What if I don't have baking soda?
You can use only baking powder, but the cookies will have a slightly different texture.

- Can I add nuts or other ingredients?
Sure! Nuts, almonds, or even chocolate chips can further enhance the flavor of the cookies.
