Chocolate Potato Chip Cookies, are crispy butter cookies made with crushed potato chips, drizzled with melted milk chocolate! Salty, sweet and absolutely amazing!
I can’t get enough cookies lately. I’ve been on a cookie high and wanting to make all of my favorites! These Chocolate Potato Chip Cookies definitely fit that category.
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 Chocolate Potato Chips are my go-to.
Some of my other favorite cookie recipes we have on our site include: No Chill Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies, M&M Oatmeal Cookies and Cinnamon Cream Cheese Cookies.
WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS:
- With minimal pantry staple ingredients these come together in no time.
- They do not require any chilling so you don’t have to wait.
- The sweet and salty pair perfectly and the salt is not overpowering.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED (FULL RECIPE BELOW):
Butter
Granulated sugar
All-purpose flour
Potato chips
Vanilla extract
Milk chocolate
HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE POTATO CHIP COOKIES:
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 2 minutes on medium speed with a hand mixer.
-
Add in the vanilla and beat to combine. Slowly add in the flour a little at a time until fully incorporated.
-
Add in the potato chips and mix until just combined.
-
Drop rounded tablespoons onto an ungreased baking sheet tray. I used a tablespoon scoop for even cookies. Round them into balls and bake for 10-12 minutes until slightly golden brown on the edges.
-
Place sheet tray on wired rack and let cool for 2 minutes before transferring cookies to cool completely on wire rack.
-
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.
HOW TO STORE:
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.
TIPS AND TRICKS:
- Lays or Ruffles are the best chips to use in this recipe.

I rhought that a chocolate potato chip cookie would be a chocolate cookie batter with potato chips incorporated. for this reason, I didn’t make them
