Calories: 134kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup shortening
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 1/2 cups flour sifted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup nuts chopped (your choice)
- 2 cups potato chips crushed
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Using a mixer, cream shortening, white sugar and brown sugar until fluffy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla and beat well.
- Add the dry ingredients (flour and baking soda). Do not overmix. Mix in nuts and potato chips.
- Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes for a crunchy cookie or 9 to 10 minutes for a softer cookie.
Notes
- Dark brown sugar or a combination of light and dark brown sugar can be used. The overall color will be a bit darker if the dark variety is used.
- Easy potato chip cookies use regular salted potato chips such as ruffles or lays. Regular salted Fritos would work too. Crush them up into small pieces.
- What a great way to use up leftover potato chips. I also have a recipe for Crispy Chicken that uses leftover potato chips.
- Use whatever type of nuts you prefer. For a really sweet and salty vibe, try using Cocktail peanuts or salted peanuts.
- Stir in butterscotch or chocolate chips with the chips and nuts for an extra special Amish potato chip cookie.
- The nutritional information is auto-calculated and can vary depending on the products used.
