Weird Things in Cookies

So I know this ingredient isn’t too weird but it is not the “normal” thing that you think of to put into a cookie. I have a friend that always raved about potato chip cookies but I never tried one. Maybe it was just my taste at the time but I wasn’t interested. I am not one to try new things very often.

This is a fairly easy recipe to make. The dough is rather stiff but it makes for a thick, soft cookie. Another thing you might notice is that there is only brown sugar in this recipe, no granulated. I often will increase the brown sugar in my cookie recipes and decrease the granulated so as to have a chewier cookie.

These cookies were chewy, gooey goodness! I didn’t really taste the potato chips themselves. It added a nice crunchiness to the cookie but nothing overpowering. The kids liked them but said the same thing I did about only having a crunch but not tasting the chips.

 
I made my cookies about tablespoon size and I got 4 dozen cookies out of it. I baked them for exactly 8 min and took them right off the cookie sheet and onto the cooling racks. This is important to keep the cookies from getting hard.

The boys were excited when they got home from school and there were fresh baked cookies! I haven’t been baking much since my ankle surgery 8 weeks ago. In fact this is the first batch of cookies I have attempted while still on crutches.

Chocolate Potato Chip Cookies
Preheat oven to 375

In a bowl, fluff:

1 c light brown sugar

1/2 c butter, softened
add:

2 tsp vanilla

2 eggs

Sift together:

6 tbs cocoa

2 c flour

1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Combine with the butter mixture, now fold in:

1 c chocolate chips

1 cup crushed wavy potato chips

Drop by small spoons (teaspoons) onto a baking sheet. Sprinkle with a few more
crushed potato chips, and bake for EXACTLY 8 minutes. They may seem soft, but
they continue to bake after they are out of the oven- so it’s okay.
