Butterscotch Potato Chip Cookies

Butterscotch Potato Chip Cookies meld sweet butterscotch chips with salty potato chips folded into a soft, chewy cookie dough. The combination of brown sugar, butter, and vanilla creates a rich, caramel-like base, while the potato chips add an unexpected savory crunch. Topping each cookie with additional crushed potato chips enhances the contrast of textures and flavors.

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.
