Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Add-ins
- 2 cups lightly crushed ruffled potato chips
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Cream Butter and Sugars: Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well until fully incorporated.
- Mix in Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and kosher salt to the wet mixture, gently mixing until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to ensure a tender cookie.
- Fold in Chips: Fold in the lightly crushed potato chips and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Chill the Dough: Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour. This step helps prevent spreading and enhances flavor.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Portion and Place: Scoop the chilled dough into 1-inch balls and place them at least 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to brown and the centers remain soft.
- Cool the Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 3 minutes. Then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Be sure not to over-crush the potato chips; some larger pieces add great texture.
- Chilling the dough makes the cookies thicker and chewier.
- You can substitute semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips based on your preference.
- These cookies freeze well; store in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
