Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar (firmly packed)
- 1 cup Crushed potato chips
- 0.75 cups Mini chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Begin by preparing a clean, dry 1-quart jar.
In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Pour the flour mixture into the bottom of the jar, using a spoon to even out the layer.
Next, add the granulated sugar as the second layer, followed by the brown sugar as the third layer. Be sure to pack down each layer firmly for a neater appearance.
Add the crushed potato chips as the fourth layer, followed by the mini chocolate chips.
If using, add the chopped pecans or walnuts as the final layer. Seal the jar tightly with a lid.
Attach a gift tag with the following instructions: 'To make Potato Chip Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) of softened unsalted butter, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the contents of the jar until fully combined. Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!'
Decorate the jar with a ribbon or fabric cover for an extra festive touch before gifting.
