How to Make Kinder Cookies

Here are some quick visual instructions. Don't forget that full instructions with exact ingredients can be found in the main recipe card below!

Step 1: Beat the softened butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar using an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until you get a creamy mixture.

Step 2: Add the egg and vanilla extract, then beat again for about a minute to incorporate them.

Step 3: Add the dry ingredients that have been sifted beforehand - the flour, salt, and baking soda (or baking powder) - and gently incorporate them using a soft spatula or a wooden spoon.

Step 4: Finish by folding in the chopped Kinder bars (add optionally chocolate chips at this stage).

Step 6: Shape into cookie dough balls using your hands or an ice cream scoop, and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Step 7: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake the cookies for approximately 12 minutes until they are golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center.

Let cool: Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before serving with a glass of milk or as a dessert with a little vanilla icing.

Tips for this recipe

Room temperature ingredients: This ensures that all the ingredients have the same temperature, promoting a uniform mixture.
Cream butter and sugars: By beating the butter and sugars together, you create a light and airy texture that will give the cookies a soft texture.
Gently fold in the dry ingredients: Use a spatula to avoid overmixing the dough and keep the cookies soft.
Let the cookie dough rest: For enhanced flavor and taste and cookies that won't spread too much during baking.
Watch the baking time: To prevent the cookies from being overcooked, which would make them hard and dry.

Storage

At room temperature: Store leftover cookies in an airtight container when completely cooled, you can keep them for up to a week.

Freezing: Placed in freezer bags, you can freeze them for up to 3 months.

Variations & Substitutions

With chocolate chips: Add dark, milk, or white chocolate chips or chocolate chunks for extra crunch and flavor.
Nutella center: Incorporate a large frozen Nutella chunk into the cookie dough, as in these Nutella stuffed cookies.
Oreo flavor: Use Oreo cookie pieces like in my Oreo cookies or these biscoff butter cookies.
Gluten-free and vegan: Follow this gluten-free cookie recipe or these vegan chocolate chip cookies and add Kinder pieces.
