Potato Chip Cookies are a unique blend, combining the salty crunch of potato chips with the familiar sweetness of classic shortbread cookies. These buttery cookies literally melt in your mouth!

Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup salted butter softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup finely ground salted plain potato chips
  • ½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Begin by heating your oven to 350°F (180°C), or 160°C if using a fan oven. Arrange parchment paper on baking sheets and keep them ready.
  • Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until they reach a creamy consistency.
  • Gradually add flour to the mixture, ensuring to scrape the bowl's sides to incorporate everything evenly.
  • Blend in the vanilla extract.
  • Fold in the crushed potato chips until the mixture is uniformly mixed.
  • Scoop out the dough in 1.5 tablespoon portions and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each.
  • Bake the cookies for 13-18 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn a light golden color.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 15 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack. Once cooled, sprinkle them generously with confectioners' sugar.
  • Allow the cookies to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • While we prefer lightly salted plain chips, feel free to choose your preferred variety of plain potato chips.
  • A simple way to crush the potato chips is by placing them in a zip lock bag and rolling over them with a rolling pin. A food processor works well too.
  • Try substituting the potato chips with crushed cornflakes or rice krispies for a different twist.
  • If you prefer less saltiness, consider using unsalted butter with lightly salted chips. However, the combination of salted butter and chips often gives these cookies their unique taste.
  • Store leftover cookies at room temperature in a sealed container for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
