Butterscotch Potato Chip Cookies
Description
The dough uses all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and a generous amount of brown sugar and unsalted butter for moisture and sweetness. Eggs and pure vanilla extract enrich the mixture before adding butterscotch chips and carefully folded-in potato chips to maintain their shape and provide bursts of saltiness in each bite. The cookies are portioned onto parchment-lined sheets and topped with crushed potato chips for extra crunch and visual appeal.
Baked at a high temperature for a short time, the edges turn brown while the centers stay soft, creating a pleasing texture contrast. These cookies pair well with milk or coffee as a snack or dessert.
