Auntie Rene’s Potato Chip Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 lb butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 1/2 cups flour
- 2 cups crushed potato chips (regular flavor, ripple)
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Cream 1 lb butter and 1 cup sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Grab your favorite spatula or mixer for the job; it’s a workout for those arms.
- Add 1 teaspoon vanilla to the butter-sugar mixture and stir well to combine all that vanilla goodness into the mix.
- Gradually stir in 3 1/2 cups flour, mixing until just combined. It may start looking like dough, and that’s exactly what you want.
- Fold in 2 cups crushed potato chips and 1/2 cup chopped pecans gently. The mixture will seem a bit dry, but don’t worry, it’s supposed to be like that.
- Using a spoon or your hands, drop teaspoons of dough onto a greased cookie sheet. Remember to leave some space between them as they don’t spread much when baking.
- Pop the cookie sheet into a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit and let those cookies bake for about 15 minutes, or until they are just golden around the edges.
