Description
Chocolate Chip Potato Chip Cookies combine sweet and salty flavors with a chewy center, buttery crisp edges, melty chocolate, and a delightful potato chip crunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups roughly crushed Wavy Lay’s Original Potato Chips
- Additional chocolate chips and crushed potato chips for the tops, optional
Instructions
- Crush the potato chips by placing them in a zip-top bag and gently crushing them with your hands. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and fluffy (approximately 2–3 minutes).
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the butter mixture and mix until just combined.
- Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and then gently fold in the crushed potato chips without using a mixer.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie and place them on the baking sheet several inches apart. Optionally, press extra chocolate chips and potato chips on top.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly soft. Don’t overbake.
- Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.
Notes
- Do not overbake for soft and chewy cookies.
- Avoid crushing potato chips into fine crumbs; aim for small to medium pieces for texture.
- Chill cookie dough for about 30 minutes if the dough is too soft.
- Press extra chunks of potato chips and chocolate chips on the tops for better appearance and texture.
