Description

These Potato Chip Cookies offer a delightful twist on classic chocolate chip cookies by adding crunchy, salty potato chips for an irresistible sweet and salty flavor combination. Soft, chewy cookies with melty chocolate chips and a crispy potato chip surprise make these treats perfect for any snack time or dessert craving.

Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter (melted)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup crumbled potato chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the cookies evenly.
  2. Mix Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar, stirring well until fully incorporated and smooth.
  3. Add Vanilla and Egg: Mix in the vanilla extract and the large egg just until combined, avoiding overmixing to keep cookies tender.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined, making sure not to overwork the dough.
  5. Add Chocolate and Potato Chips: Gently fold in the milk chocolate chips and crumbled potato chips by hand, reserving a few potato chips to press on top of each cookie if you like.
  6. Shape Cookies: Using a large cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
  7. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for exactly 11 minutes. The cookies will look slightly underdone when removed—this ensures they stay soft inside.
  8. Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack or serving. This helps them set perfectly.

Notes

  • Do not overbake the cookies to maintain a soft, chewy texture.
  • Pressing reserved potato chips on top adds extra crunch and visual appeal.
  • Use regular salted potato chips for the best balance of sweet and salty flavors.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crunchy.
