Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 whole large egg
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups crushed plain potato chips
- 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (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 the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and the large egg, and beat until well-incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Carefully fold in the crushed potato chips to the dough. If you’d like to add a chocolate twist, fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips as well.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your sweet and salty potato chip cookies with a glass of milk or as a delightful snack!
