“Oh – these look so good! I like the simple list of ingredients, also. I just had my first chocolate covered potato chip this past Christmas and they were do die for! I will bet these cookies taste similar – I can’t wait to try them!” – Vickie

I know they sound weird, but trust me they are absolutely delicious! If you like sweet and salty then you will absolutely adore these cookies.

Sometimes I can’t decide if I want sweet or salty when I’m going for a snack, so these cookies are the perfect things to whip up when you’re in a bind like me.

Plus they are super easy to make, I know I have stressed this a lot lately but I’m all about the ease of recipes. I hate spending so much time baking.

I just want to eat them! So the quicker the better in my opinion! I just want my food now, I know some of you have to be able to relate with me on that one.

These have gone over so well with everyone that we have made them for that we keep on making them all year long, especially for football games!

I mean chips are a staple part of sports, and I also love to serve something sweet so these Potato Chip Cookies Recipe are my go-to.

1. With minimal pantry staple ingredients these come together in no time.
2. They do not require any chilling so you don’t have to wait.
3. The sweet and salty pair perfectly and the salt is not overpowering.

• Butter
• Granulated sugar
• All-purpose flour
• Potato chips
• Vanilla extract
• Milk chocolate

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 2 minutes on medium speed with a hand mixer.
3. Add in the vanilla and beat to combine. Slowly add in the flour a little at a time until fully incorporated.
4. Add in the potato chips and mix until just combined.
5. Drop rounded tablespoons onto an ungreased baking sheet tray. I used a tablespoon scoop for even cookies.
6. Roll them into balls and bake for 10-12 minutes until slightly golden brown on the edges.
7. Place the sheet tray on a wire rack and let it cool for 2 minutes before transferring the cookies to cool completely on the wire rack.
8. When cookies are cooled, drizzle with melted chocolate, pop in the fridge for 10 minutes so the chocolate can set. Serve and enjoy!

WHAT KIND OF POTATO CHIPS ARE BEST FOR THESE?

I would go with a normal potato chip like Lays.

They are simple, not overly salty and they are easy to crush and get the right texture that you need.

You absolutely do not want to put any flavored chips into this otherwise the recipe would really come out weird.

So either plain Lays or even Ruffles will work well for these.

WHAT IS THE BEST KIND OF CHOCOLATE TO USE?

To give these a little more sweetness we like using milk chocolate to balance out the sweet and salty.

You will want a good quality melting chocolate for these.

I don’t like to use chocolate chips if I don’t have to as they are sometimes hard to melt in the microwave and will seize, so we like using a chocolate baking bar or chocolate melting wafers.

ANY ADDITIONS?

The salty taste of these cookies combines really well with all kinds of other flavors.

I’ve had great success with a few of these!

• Mix in semi-sweet chocolate chips or chocolate chunks to the dough for a delightful potato chip chocolate chip cookie that offers the perfect balance of sweet and salty.
• Add peanut butter chips to the batter for an irresistible twist, combining two favorite snacks into one fun recipe.
• Sprinkle a little bit of sea salt or table salt on the top of the cookies before baking to enhance the salty taste and achieve the perfect sweet and salty combination.
• Incorporate chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts into the dry ingredients for extra crunch and a chewy texture.
• Drizzle melted white chocolate over the cooled cookies for a decorative touch and added sweetness that will make them disappear from the cookie jar quickly.
• Use browned butter instead of regular butter to add a rich, nutty flavor to these buttery cookies, elevating them to one of the best cookie recipes you’ve ever tried.
• Stir in crushed pretzels along with the potato chips for an extra salty treat that cookie monsters will love.
• Add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients for a warm spice note that complements the sweet and salty flavors.
• Include an extra egg yolk in the batter to achieve a chewier cookie, similar to your favorite recipe for chewy cookies.
• Top each cookie with a sprinkle of dark brown sugar before baking to create a caramelized finish that’s both visually appealing and delicious.

ANY SUBSTITUTIONS?

What’s the perfect blend of flavors? Well, the good new is that you get to decide!

• Unsalted butter: You can use salted butter if that’s what you have on hand; just omit the added salt to maintain the perfect balance in flavor.
• Granulated sugar: Substitute with dark brown sugar or a mix of white sugar and brown sugar to add moisture and a deeper flavor, resulting in a chewier cookie.
• All-purpose flour: Use whole wheat flour or a gluten-free flour blend as a substitute, keeping in mind that the texture may change slightly.
• Potato chips: Experiment with different types of potato chips like kettle chips, Lay’s Potato Chips, or flavored chips to create unique variations of this potato chip cookies recipe.
• Milk chocolate: Swap with semi-sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate for a less sweet, more intense chocolate flavor.
• Vanilla extract: Try using almond extract or coffee extract to add a new dimension of flavor to your favorite recipe, making these cookies stand out even more.

These Potato Chip Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature where they will keep for up to 5-6 days.

These can also be frozen, let your cookies cool completely and set up. Place in a freezer container or bag separated by parchment paper and these should last for up to 3 months.

Let them defrost in the refrigerator or on the countertop.
