Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
Add-ins
- 2 ½ cups crinkle cut crushed potato chips (reserve ½ cup for the tops of the cookies)
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow for easy cleanup.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a stand mixer or hand mixer on medium speed, cream the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Lower the mixer speed to low and add the vanilla extract. Then add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until each is incorporated to avoid overmixing.
- Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in three parts, scraping the sides of the bowl and beaters as needed. Remove the bowl from the mixer to fold in the crushed potato chips and semisweet chocolate chips by hand, ensuring even distribution.
- Scoop and Decorate Cookies: Using a 1 ½ tablespoon cookie scoop, drop scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Gently press a few reserved potato chip pieces onto the tops of each cookie for added crunch and visual appeal.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 11-12 minutes or until the cookies are lightly browned around the edges.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- These Potato Chip Cookies offer a unique mix of sweet and salty flavors that make them irresistible.

- Use crinkle cut potato chips for better texture and hold in the dough.

- For added crunch and flavor, try using flavored potato chips like BBQ or sour cream and onion.
