These thick and chewy cookies have that sweet and salty vibe going on, thanks to the addition of crushed potato chips. We love how thick and soft these bake up and the potato chips make such a fun addition.
Add the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to a mixing bowl and stir well to combine.
Mix in the vanilla and egg until just combined.
Add the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix until just combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips and potato chips by hand, reserving a few to press onto the tops of the cookie dough, if desired.
Use a large cookie scoop to drop balls of cookie dough on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Bake for 11 minutes exactly. Cookies will still be slightly underdone when you remove them from the oven. Do not overbake. Let sit on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a cooling rack or eating.
Notes
We like to use Ruffles or Lay's potato chips in this recipe. You'll want a fairly salty chip to balance it out with the sweetness of the cookie. Crush the chips as fine as you'd like. We like to leave them just coarsely crumbled so you get that texture in each bite. This recipe doesn't always turn out well when doubling for some reason. We tend to just make one batch at a time.
