Description

Potato Chip Cookies are a delightful twist on the classic cookie, combining the rich creaminess of butter and shortening with the salty crunch of crushed potato chips. These cookies offer a unique balance of sweet and savory flavors and a satisfyingly crisp texture, finished with a light dusting of powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened to room temperature)
  • 1 cup shortening (Crisco)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup crushed potato chips

Finishing

  • 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting on top)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, shortening (Crisco), and granulated sugar. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well integrated.
  2. Add Flavors and Flour: Stir in the vanilla extract, then add the all-purpose flour and crushed potato chips to the mixture. Mix just until all ingredients are combined to avoid overworking the dough.
  3. Shape and Bake: Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough (1-2 tablespoons each) onto a cookie sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for 13-15 minutes, or until the cookie bottoms turn golden brown and the tops remain white.
  4. Cool and Finish: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet or a cooling rack. Once completely cool, sprinkle the tops with powdered sugar for a delicate, sweet finish.

Notes

  • Use crushed potato chips for texture and a subtle salty flavor; classic salted chips work best.
  • Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a better dough consistency.
  • Do not overmix the dough once flour and chips are added to keep cookies tender.
  • Watch baking time closely to prevent cookies from browning too much on top, which affects texture.
  • Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
