Potato Chip Cookies
Potato Chip Cookies? Is there such a thing? Yes there is, and all you need is a few ingredients to make them. When we first heard about the idea of mixing potato chips into cookie batter, it didn't strike us as anything we wanted to try.
One day, we were offered some at a birthday party and found them to be very good. The addictive salty-sweet combination of flavors made it hard to keep out of them. So we asked for the recipe and ran home to make a batch.
We found that all you need is some crushed potato chips to mix in with the cookie batter. Choose chips that are salty, thinner is better. Crush the chips with a rolling pin until they are the size of chocolate chips. The potato flavor is hard to notice, most people won't know what you put in there.
Potato Chip Cookie Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup butter, room temperature
|
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/4 cups crushed potato chips
|
Preparation:
- If you are going to bake two sheets of Potato Chip Cookies at a time, then arrange the racks in your oven to divide it into thirds. For baking with one sheet at a time, put one of the oven racks in the center of the oven.
- PREHEAT oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, combine Butter and Granulated Sugar; cream together until mixture appears light and fluffy. Stop to scrape down sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as you go along.
- Add Egg and beat until thoroughly mixed.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt, then stir into butter mixture.
- Stir in potato chips.
- Drop by rounded tablespoon 2 inches apart onto greased baking sheets.
- Bake 10 to 13 minutes or just until cookies are golden brown. If you are baking with two sheets at a time, switch baking pans from top to bottom racks halfway through the cooking time. If you are baking with one sheet at a time then rotate the pan halfway through the cooking time. This will ensure that the cookies cook more evenly.
- Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
