These potato chip cookies are sweet, salty perfection!
I feel like I should slap a warning label on this post. Ready for it?
Warning: These cookies are beyond simple to make, you probably have all of the ingredients in your kitchen right now, and they are addicting like you wouldn’t believe. The saltiness of the potato chips mixes with the sweetness of the chocolate. You will be powerless to resist. Do not make these if you lack self control. Do not make these if you are hungry. Do not make these if you have a mouth. Do not make these. Ever. At all. Unless you want a really yummy treat, but be sure to proceed with caution.
There.
Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, let me tell you what I did.
I made cookies. With potato chip crumbs in them.
I know, I didn’t think they’d be good either, but sometimes a little failure is good for the soul, so I went ahead and tried it anyway.
These cookies are definitely not failures. Unless you consider a cookie that begs you to eat 10 of them right in a row a failure. Then yes, these are huge failures.
I feel like the cookie monster over here. Send help.
You’re going to love the sweet and salty combination of these potato chip cookies! I just know it.

I’ve been making these cookies for years. People love them and can’t believe potato chips are in them. These are rather rich cookies so I leave out chocolate chips

I used this recipe (adding white chocolate chips instead of the regular semi-sweet ones) for my work place’s Christmas party and won runner up! Someone’s blueberry cheesecake won first 🙂 And i also made the holiday toffee bark and got a honorable mention. Thanks for the awesome recipes!
Shelby says

I just made these and they are absolutely fantastic. I’m sure when my family gets home, they will be gone in an instant.
also to Kristin kunoff: the problem might be that the flour you are using is getting old. Over time flour loses its ability to rise. I made a batch of cookies last week that completely melted because the flour was expired. Flour is only good for 6 months tops if not frozen (unlucky for me I never knew that until last week.) hope this helps 🙂

Potato Chip Cookie – I found no noticeable saltiness at all. The potato chips add a crunch to it so it was an “OK” chocolate chip cookie, not a repeater. Got to give this recipe a thumbs down.

Man…has anyone added bacon to this recipe? Goodness me…I will have to try this soon. I see a taste test comin’ up. 🙂 Thanks!

When i was a kid (1960s) I remember a babysitter making these for us, haven’t had them since, but if I do baked,low salt chips and splenda, cant be that bad:)

My friend made these the other day & I loved them! So i wanted to make them for my roomies as well. One roommate saw that I was making chocolate chip cookies & asked to split the batter in half so she could make chocolate-pear cookies. We then decided that we should add Pears, chocolate, AND the chips to the batter. The combination was sweet&salty and the pears added a chewy, moist texture to the cookie.
They turned out incredible! The batch was gone in 10 minutes. 🙂

I made these yesterday, and whilst in the middle of mixing I realized that I had forgotten to buy baking soda!! Buuuut for some reason they still came out amazing hahaha

I didn’t find the recipe to be runny. Just perfect. In the oven now. And now thinking I should have listened to your warning. It makes SO many!! Good excuse to give ’em out to my friends and bring them down with me, haha!

Hey Kristin,
I’m not sure why they would have been runny! I double checked the recipe and it was definitely 2 cups and I’m sure that’s what I used as well! Weird, man. Glad you were able to save them by adding a bit more flour!
