These Kinder Cookies are delightfully soft and chewy, packed with chunks of sweet Kinder Chocolate that melt into every bite. Perfectly balanced with a blend of caster and light brown sugar, this cookie dough is chilled to develop deep flavors and baked just until the edges turn golden while the centers remain soft. Ideal for sharing or treating yourself, these cookies bring a nostalgic chocolate experience in homemade form.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 160 grams Unsalted butter
  • 100 grams White caster sugar
  • 150 grams Light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (room temperature)
  • 1 medium Whole egg (room temperature)
  • 1 medium Egg yolk
  • 275 grams Self-raising flour
  • 200 grams Kinder Chocolate Bars (chopped into chunks)

Instructions

  1. Make the cookie dough: Place the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl and melt it for 30-40 seconds. Then, mix in both the caster sugar and light brown sugar until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  2. Add eggs and vanilla: Mix in the vanilla extract, whole egg, and egg yolk until well incorporated into the sugar and butter mixture.
  3. Incorporate flour: Gently fold the self-raising flour into the mixture to create a smooth cookie dough.
  4. Add Kinder chocolate chunks: Fold in most of the chopped Kinder chocolate chunks, saving a handful for decorating after baking.
  5. Chill the dough: Cover the bowl with clingfilm and refrigerate the dough for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. This resting period enhances flavor and texture.
  6. Preheat oven and prepare trays: Set your oven to 180°C (fan) and line two large baking trays with greaseproof paper.
  7. Soften the dough: Remove the dough from the refrigerator and allow it to soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes for easier shaping.
  8. Shape the cookies: Scoop a heaped tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball using your hands. Place each ball on the prepared baking tray, ensuring to leave 8-10cm between them to allow for spreading during baking.
  9. Bake the cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden but the centers remain pale and soft.
  10. Add chocolate chunks on top: Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, gently press a few reserved Kinder chocolate chunks onto the top of each cookie.
  11. Cool and firm up: Leave the cookies on the baking tray for 15 minutes to cool and firm up, developing the ideal texture before serving.

Notes

  • Chilling the cookie dough is essential for the best flavor and texture—it allows the dough to firm up and reduces spreading during baking.
  • Do not flatten the cookie dough balls before baking; they will spread naturally in the oven for a soft center and crispy edges.
  • Use a fan oven at 180°C for even baking; if your oven doesn’t have a fan, increase the temperature to 190°C.
  • Storing baked cookies in an airtight container will keep them fresh for up to 3 days.
  • You can substitute self-raising flour with plain flour and 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder if self-raising is unavailable.
