Is it even possible to eat a Kit Kat bar without triggering that “Give me a break!” earworm from the ’80s? Seems not. So our cure to keep us from humming “Break me off a piece of that Kit Kat bar!” for the rest of the day is to bake up a batch of these shortbread cookies inspired by that breakably delicious candy.
Shortbread Wafer Sandwiches
Start to finish: 45 minutes; Servings: 18
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar, plus extra
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, melted
1 cup milk chocolate bits
Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray or line them with kitchen parchment.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in the melted butter. Drop the dough by the teaspoon onto the prepared pans, leaving 1 inch between them.
Use a wet paper towel to lightly moisten the bottom of a drinking glass, then press the glass into a small plate or bowl of sugar. Use the sugar-coated glass to lightly flatten each cookie, recoating it with sugar between cookies. You won’t need to remoisten; the moisture from the cookies should be sufficient.
