How to Make Potato Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups crushed potato chips
1 cup chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Fold in the crushed potato chips and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are light golden brown.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

How to Serve Potato Chip Cookies

These cookies are best served fresh out of the oven when they are warm and gooey. You can enjoy them with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee. They also make a great addition to any dessert table!

How to Store Potato Chip Cookies

To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay good for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them for up to three months!

Tips to Make Potato Chip Cookies

Make sure your butter is softened so it mixes well.
Don’t overmix the dough after adding the flour; just mix until combined.
Experiment with different types of potato chips, like BBQ or sour cream and onion, for a fun twist!

Variation

You can add nuts like walnuts or pecans to give more crunch to the cookies. Or, swap out the chocolate chips for butterscotch chips for a different flavor.

FAQs

1. Can I use margarine instead of butter?
Yes, you can use margarine, but the texture and flavor might be slightly different.

2. Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can chill the dough for up to 24 hours before baking. Just make sure to let it warm up for a few minutes before scooping.

3. What can I do if I don’t have any eggs?
You can use unsweetened applesauce or a flaxseed mixture as an egg substitute. Use 1/4 cup applesauce for each egg or mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with 2.5 tablespoons of water and let it sit for a few minutes.
