Potato Chip Cookies

These shouldn’t work, but go with me…they totally do. The name says it all – they’re cookies with potato chips inside them, and if you’re one of those people who likes a little salty with your sweet these are perfect for you. Your hands will get a little greasy making them, but other than that they’re close to the easiest thing in this book. And they’re one of those things that no one else will be making – they’re not a “typical” or “regular” cookie (not that there’s anything wrong with that!) and it’s a way to feel just a little bit superior about your mad skilz.

Ingredients

· 1 cup butter, room temperature

· 1 cup powdered sugar

· 1 egg yolk

· 1 ½ t vanilla

· 1 ½ cups flour

· ¾ cup crushed potato chips

· ½ cup chopped pecans

· Powdered sugar for dusting

Directions

Beat together the butter and sugar for about 3 minutes. Add in the egg yolk and vanilla and mix until everything is well combined. Finally, beat in the flour.

Crush a handful of potato chips like they’re your worst enemy. Crush them until they’re defeated. I like kettle chips because they have a little more texture than regular chips, but either is fine. Make sure to use regular chips…I tried salt and vinegar once just for the heck of it and….let’s just say I did it once.

Stir in the potato chips and pecans with a wooden spoon.
