These Potato Chip Cookies are a sweet and salty treat, combining classic chocolate chip cookie dough with the irresistible crunch of crushed kettle-style potato chips. A surprising twist on a familiar favorite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 3/4 cups crushed kettle-style potato chips, divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and kosher salt.
- In a stand mixer, cream the light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and unsalted butter on medium-high speed for 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined. Reduce speed and gradually add the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and 2 cups of crushed potato chips using a spatula. Do not overmix. Cover the dough and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Place the remaining 3/4 cup crushed potato chips in a shallow dish.
- Scoop chilled dough into 3-tablespoon-sized balls. Roll each in the remaining potato chips and press gently to adhere. Place 1 inch apart on baking sheets and flatten slightly into 2 1/2-inch disks.
- Bake for 11–14 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through. Cookies should be golden around the edges and slightly puffed.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Chilling the dough helps prevent cookies from spreading too much.
- Try using flavored chips for added twist (e.g., BBQ or sour cream & onion).
- Dark chocolate chips can add a richer flavor.
- These cookies keep well in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
