Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups crushed plain potato chips (kettle-cooked or ridged work best)
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
- Add Mix-Ins: Gently fold in the crushed potato chips, nuts (if using), and chocolate chips (if using).
- Bake: Scoop dough onto the baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden. Cool before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Use thick, sturdy potato chips to avoid sogginess.
