Get ready to indulge in what might just be the most delicious cookie you can bake any time of the year! With a few simple ingredients and a handful of potato chips, you can whip these up in under 20 minutes. In this post, you’ll find my Chocolate and Potato Chip Cookies Recipe along with baking tips to make your kitchen experience enjoyable.
Chocolate and Potato Chip Recipe Tips
Here are some of my top baking tips for this recipe:
- Always use fresh ingredients, including the potato chips. While you can use the remnants from the bottom of the bag, I prefer to grab a fresh handful. There’s something satisfying about crushing those salty snacks into tiny bits!
- I always line my large cookie sheet with parchment paper, as it makes cleanup a breeze.
- Adding kosher salt to the parchment paper enhances the flavor as the cookie dough bakes. Trust me, this trick will become your go-to method for making cookies!
Chocolate and Potato Chip Cookie Recipe
Prep Time: 5 minutes | Bake Time: 7-10 minutes | Difficulty Level: Easy | Yield: 3 dozen cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 cup softened butter
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- Handful of potato chips (½ cup crushed)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugars until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla, mixing until well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; then add this mixture to the butter mixture.
Gently fold in the crushed potato chips and walnuts before adding the chocolate chips.
On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, sprinkle a bit of kosher salt. Drop spoonfuls of dough (about 1 ½ inches in size) onto the prepared tray.
Bake for 7-9 minutes or until the cookies are lightly browned. They will firm up as they cool on the rack.
Notes:
These cookies can be made ahead of time and frozen for up to 2 months.
