Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups potato chips, roughly crushed
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined.
- Gently fold in the crushed potato chips, chocolate chips, and nuts (if using).
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Scoop dough by tablespoonfuls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden. For softer cookies, bake for 9-10 minutes; for crispier cookies, bake for 12 minutes.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour in place of regular flour.
- Experiment with flavored potato chips, like sour cream and onion, for a fun twist.
- Store your cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep them soft. If you prefer a crispier cookie, store them separately.
