Ingredients

  • 1 lb butter - softened to room temperature (do NOT use the microwave to soften. Just cut it up and wait. Also as an fyi, 1 lb is 4 sticks of butter.
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 3 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 TBS vanilla
  • 8 oz crushed POTATO CHIPS that's the family sized bag!!
  • powdered sugar optional for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit.
  • Crush potato chips. I opened the bag and just rolled over it with a rolling pin. My potato chip crumbs were about ¼ inch and smaller in size. You don't want them much smaller because these add the delightful crunch to the cookie.
  • Beat the butter and sugar together until combined. Add vanilla and give it a good stir. Add flour, about a cup at a time and mix well before adding more. Add crushed potato chips.
  • Form cookies in small balls and press flat. I used a small cookie scooper and just used my hand to press flat.
  • If the dough is too sticky, try adding up to ¼ cup more flour. If that doesn't help, the dough may be too warm. Put it in the fridge for about 10 - 15 minutes and see how that helps.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cookies are ready when just starting to brown on the bottom.
  • Let them cool on the pan for at least 5 minutes then place on a baking rack to finish cooling.
  • Sift some powdered sugar on cookies just prior to serving. (optional).
