What? Make easy cookies with potato chips? Did I read that right? You sure did! Are you looking for a fun and easy cookie recipe, then you’ve just found one. Know what’s even more fun? Having people guess what the “secret ingredient” is!

What you’ll need:

2 cups of flour
1 cup of sugar (save half of it for later)
1 cup of crushed potato chips
1 tsp baking soda

1 cup butter (softened)
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla

Before starting, preheat the over to 350 degrees F

1. In a bowl, crush up your potato chips. You want your chips to measure 1 cup AFTER they are crushed.

2. Add your flour, and half of your sugar, along with your baking soda to your potato chips.

2. Blend your butter, while mixing in your egg and vanilla. You’ll want it to be a creamy consistency.

3. Mixing all your ingredients together, create your “cookie dough”.

4. You’ll want to make the dough into small balls, and then space them apart onto your cookie sheet.

5. Take a glass, dipping the bottom of it in sugar (remember the sugar you put aside, you’ll use it here), and gently press your cookies to flatten them.

6. Bake your cookies for 12 minutes, watching them, since everyone’s oven heats a little differently. (Optimum time: 10-15 mins total)

When you make easy cookies it’s a lot of fun, but when you use a fun ingredient people aren’t expecting, that’s even more fun. Bring them to work with you, or put them out at a holiday party! People will love talking about them, since many people don’t think of potato chips in cookies. They’re more used to seeing traditional cookies…but you’ve just brought some zest and fun to the party with your potato chip cookies!
