Kit Kat Cookies

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1/3 tsp cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cup chopped Kit Kat candy bar pieces
• Optional: add semi-sweet chocolate chips after adding Kit Kat pieces

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 F degrees
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients except candy bar pieces. Set aside
3. Using an electric mixer, cream together butter and sugars on medium speed until combined. Add egg and vanilla; mix until combined
4. Slowly add flour mixture to wet ingredients; mix just until combined. Do not over mix
5. Gently fold in chopped Kit Kat candy bar pieces; cover bowl and refrigerate dough for about an hour
6. Place a rounded scoop of dough on an ungreased baking sheet, or silicone mat/parchment paper lined baking sheet. Keep dough chilled in between batches.
7. Bake 7-9 minutes or until barely golden brown around the edges. Do not over bake. The tops will not brown. Do not bake longer than 9 minutes. Cookies may appear to be soft and undone, but they will set as they cool.
8. Cool cookies on baking sheet on wire rack for 5 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Option:  can use an 9×13 square pan and make bars.  Just add 2 eggs instead of 1, 2 sticks of softened butter instead of 3/4 cup and add a small box of instant vanilla pudding mix.  Bake for 35-38 minutes or until cooked through.
