  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Enhances the cookies' flavor profile with a warm touch.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
  3. Add one egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the mixture, beating until well combined (about 1 minute).
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped Kit Kats and chopped chocolate until evenly distributed in the dough.
  7. Scoop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, ensuring the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
  9. After baking, cool the cookies on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
