Having a surplus of potato chips after a birthday party, I wanted to put them to good use and I remembered a cookie I had bookmarked from Baking Bites. These cookies have amazing crunch and a fantastic salty sweet flavor.
Potato Chip Cookies
(recipe from Baking Bites)
Makes about 40 thin cookies and about 25 thick, chewy ones.
2 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 cup Butter, softened
1/2 cup Granulated Sugar + 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
1 large Egg
1 1/2 cups Potato Chips, crushed fine (I didn't crush them too much but I will next time)
Combine the dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking soda). In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Add the egg and whisk together very well.
Mix the butter mixture with the dry ingredients. Fold in the crushed potato chips.
Shape into balls (about the size of a small lemon). Drop the balls onto a baking sheet and flatten them out a bit. Bake for 12-15 minutes (12 minutes for chewy and more for crispy cookies). Cool completely on a wire rack.
Here are some other cookie recipes from this blog: Snickerdoodles, Peanut Butter Cookies and Chocolate Chip Cookies.

This idea of using potato chips is so out there but you're result looks fab and I'd have no problem sampling a few.
I can never imagine having potato chips in cookies, but yours look great! How's the texture like?
Peter - it is out there, but quite interesting. Do try it.
Ovenhaven - The texture is crispy and chewy at the same time, while being salty and sweet. Its delicious.
what a whacko, fun combo!
I was very curious when I read the title and find it interesting. This is a keeper recipe!

Thts amazing..i cud have never thought of combining salty chips to bake cookies...looks lovely :-)
I've seen this recipe before but have not tried it. I can't imagine not liking it. I dunno why but Seinfeld comes to mind, would he say something like "Whats not to like..it's a cookie with chips in it!"
Delhibelle - Isn't it?
Red Chillies - Do try it.
Trupti - Thanks.
Soma - Yes do try it.
Priya - Thanks but not my idea!
Deesha - Thanks.
Alka - Thanks. Again, not my idea.
Bharti - Yup! And Leno would say "its a little bite out of a heart attack" =)
When my friend told me about fried papads dipped in bajji batter and refried, I thought that was unique, and now you come up with something that is even more stunning:)!! But I can imagine the crunch in the cookies, and baking is so much better than refrying - must have tasted great!
Arundathi,
I saw these on Nicole's blog and made them too. But all I had were Tomato Tango flavoured Lays chips and let me tell you, the cookies tasted weird!
I'm sure they tatsed better with plain chips, though.:)
A surplus of potato chips? What on earth is that? :D I can eat all the surplus potato chips in the world!
Just kidding, the cookies look fun and delicious.
-Nupur
How unusual!
they sound whimsical:)
I love salty and sweet together, so I'm going to try this. I remember, when living in England, being given a potato chip (crisps) sandwich, complete with buttered bread.
Sunshinemom - Double fried? I might get a heart attack just looking at it! :-) Even these cookies made my heart feel a little constricted!
Aparna - Tomato Tango? LOL!! I can't even imagine how those wouldve been!
Nupur - Yup - 10 1/4 kg packets for 8 kids - a bit TOO MUCH! There was LOADS left over!
Ranjani - It is!
George Alan Frampton - Sounds delicious!
Hey Anu,
Its ok if u dint, although the heaps of baking that u have been churning out would have fit right it in with the theme :) :)
There's always next time..will not spare u then:)
mmmm perfect and intresting recipe too
This is very interesting, I have never used potatoes in sweets before.
This may be a bit too much for me but I'm so interested in trying it. Makes sense, though. Sweet and salty snacks can be pretty good if done right.
This is new to me...nice one

Cookies are new, but recently I saw a recipe for candy using potato chips.
