Potato Chip Cookies
Potato Chip Cookies are a sweet ‘n’ salty combination of my two favorite snacks: cookies and potato chips. They’re incredibly easy to make in one bowl. And you’ll have them in and out of the oven in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened to room temperature, unsalted
- 1 cup shortening Crisco
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup potato chips crushed
- 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar for dusting on top
Instructions
- Mix butter, shortening (Crisco) and sugar in a large mixing bowl until well combined.
- Add vanilla, flour and crushed potato chips. Mix just until combined.
- Drop by 1-2 tablespoons on a cookie sheet. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 13-15 minutes, until golden brown on bottom and white on top. When cool, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Notes
- Be sure to measure the potato chips after crushing. You don't want them to be fine crumbs.
- To make more uniform, and look smooth, roll into a ball and press top with thumb before baking.
- Storage: Keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- We prefer to use a combination of the butter and shortening for a buttery cookie that has a soft middle and crunchy exterior. You can use all butter, if you prefer, but the texture will be slightly different.
- Try our chocolate dipped potato chip cookies for another way to indulge in this sweet treat!
- Freeze: Cookies can be kept in an airtight freezer safe container (after cooling completely) for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature.
