Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened (1 stick)
  • ½ cup white granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
  • 2 cups crushed potato chips about 4 cups whole chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.
  • Using large bowl, cream together butter, sugars, and vanilla with mixer on low.  Add in egg and blend until well combined. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.  
  • Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until dough has formed.  Do not overmix.  Stir in chocolate chips.  Fold in potato chips.
  • Place cookie dough on baking sheet using medium sized cookie scoop, placing 2 inches apart.
  • Bake 10-12 minutes or until edges just start to brown.  
  • Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes on cookie sheet before transferring to cooling rack.  

Notes

*Parchment paper or a silicone mat makes it easier to remove cookies from baking sheet and easy clean-up.
I used a reduced fat kettle potato chip for fewer calories and extra crunch.  Your favorite plain chip works too!  If using an overly salty chip you can omit the salt.
Using a cookie scoop helps keep cookies uniform, but a heaping teaspoon works, too.
Cook time is based on baking cookies one cookie sheet at a time.
Once completely cooled, store in airtight container for up to 3 days.  Cookies can also be frozen in freezer bag or freezer safe container for up to 3 months.  Bring to room temperature to serve.
