Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup chopped Kinder Bueno bars
Eggs and Flavoring:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F (175C) and prepare baking sheets with parchment paper for optimal cookie preparation.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, whip softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until the mixture becomes airy and pale, creating a smooth base for the cookies.
- Incorporate eggs individually into the butter-sugar mixture, ensuring each is fully integrated, then blend in vanilla extract for enhanced flavor depth.
- Separately, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt through a gentle whisking motion to evenly distribute dry ingredients.
- Merge the dry ingredient mixture into the butter blend, stirring gently until just incorporated to maintain a tender cookie texture.
- Delicately fold chopped Kinder Bueno pieces and mini chocolate chips throughout the dough, distributing them evenly for consistent flavor in each bite.
- Using a spoon, portion rounded dollops of dough onto prepared baking sheets, maintaining approximately 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow proper spreading.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for lightly golden edges and set centers as indicators of perfect doneness.
- Allow cookies to rest on baking sheets for 5 minutes to stabilize, then transfer to a wire cooling rack for complete cooling and optimal texture development.
Notes
- Soften butter at room temperature for easier creaming and smoother cookie texture.
- Chop Kinder Bueno bars into small, even pieces to ensure consistent chocolate distribution throughout cookies.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, chewier cookies.
- Use parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking and ensure even baking of cookies.
