Ingredients

  • 1 cup salted butter softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup finely crushed plain potato chips
  • ½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line sheet pans with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In the body of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until combined.
  • Add in the flour and mix until combined, make sure to scrape down the sides as needed.
  • Next, stir in the vanilla.
  • Add the crushed potato chips and mix until well incorporated..
  • Place 1 ½ Tablespoons of the cookie dough onto the prepared pans making sure they are 2 inches apart.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 13-18 minutes until the edges start to turn very lightly golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet pan for 15 minutes.
  • Transfer to a wire rack and dust generously with the powdered sugar.
  • Allow to cool completely and serve.

Notes

  1. Easily double this recipe to make more to have on hand or serve to guests.
  2. The powdered sugar on the top really makes these, you can leave it off or do a nice melted chocolate drizzle over the tops.
  3. These can be frozen, see above on how to do that.
  4. Use your favorite brand of potato chip, we like to use lightly salted chips with these. You can use unsalted, or use unsalted butter and salted potato chips. This depends on how salty you want your cookies to be.
  5. Crush your potato chips in a ziptop bag or food processor, but don't get them too fine we do not want a dust.
  6. You can also use wavy chips for this recipe.
  7. Other additions to the cookies can be added, see above for some ideas.
