Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup (packed) light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups crushed salted potato chips
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until incorporated.
Fold in the crushed potato chips and chopped nuts (if using) using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the dough. Be careful not to overmix.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your sweet-and-salty Potato Chip Cookies Ala Aunt Dean with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
