Chocolate Chip Potato Chip Cookies

Brooke Homec
Chocolate chip potato chip cookies combine the sweet chocolate chip cookie we all know and love with little bits of salty potato chips in every bite. They're a chewy cookie with the perfect balance of salty and sweet and a fun way to add a little pizzaz to your usual classic.

Ingredients
 

  • ½ cup (227 g) salted butter melted and cooled
  • ½ cup (220 g) brown sugar
  • ½ cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large (2 large) egg
  • 2 teaspoons (1 tablespoon) vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon (1 teaspoon) baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon (1 teaspoon) salt
  • 1⅓ cups (420 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1¼ cups (255 g) chocolate chips mix of milk and semi-sweet
  • 1 ounce (135 g) thin potato chips I used lays
  • flaked salt for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl whisk or beat together the melted butter and both sugars until completely mixed. Add in the egg and vanilla and mix again.
  • Mix in the baking soda, salt and flour being careful not to over mix. I usually stop when I still have some flour remnants around the bowl. Fold in chocolate chips followed by broken up potato chips.
  • Scoop the dough into desired size cookie balls. I like to use a ¼cup scoop for these. Place 5 on your baking sheet and place a chip into the top.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown. Sprinkle with flaked salt and allow to cool and set.

Notes

There is no chilling required for this dough, but if you prefer thick cookies then I would suggest it for a few hours. 
I tried these cookies with thicker crinkle potato chips and I didn't like how they turned out, so i'd suggest thin chips such as lays so they stay crispy in the cookie.
I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.
