The Kinder cookies are truly amazing cookies. Having two little girls, I received several Epiphany stockings, and in one of them, there were packages of chocolate bars that we would hardly consume on their own. So, I thought of using almost all of them to make the cookies, which are among my favorite ones, and I must say they were literally a hit! Soft, super delicious, fragrant, and with a creamy filling, these Kinder cookies are great on their own and perfect for dipping. I love them dipped in milk, cappuccino, tea, or hot chocolate. Try them; they’ll make both kids and adults happy (and it’s also a great recipe to use up leftovers or finish Epiphany chocolates :D).

Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 10 chocolate bars (or 16 of the classic ones)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp baking soda
- to taste salt
- to taste vanilla
Steps
Kinder cookies are very simple and quick to prepare, first put the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda, salt, and vanilla in a bowl and mix.
In another bowl, work the room temperature butter with the eggs using electric whisks. As soon as the mixture softens, add the powders you previously mixed, and work the ingredients using a spatula.
Add the broken chocolate bars and mix them into the dough.
Take some dough with a spoon and, using your hands, form balls a bit larger than a walnut, then place the Kinder cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, spacing them well, and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes, until they are slightly golden.
Once baked, let the Kinder cookies cool for at least 5 minutes, touching them while still hot might cause them to break.
Advice:
Kinder cookies can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. I used large bars; if you have small ones, use 16 of them, obviously of any brand. I do not recommend replacing butter with oil in this recipe. If you don’t want to use butter, follow this recipe, substituting chocolate chips with bars. Instead, I suggest baking the Kinder cookies in two batches; do not place them too close together because they will spread during baking. Leave some space between each cookie.
