Tips & Substitutions
For extra chewiness, consider using old-fashioned oats instead of quick oats. If you need a dairy-free option, substitute the milk with almond or soy milk. To enhance flavor, you can add nuts or dried fruits. Make sure to allow the cookies to cool slightly on the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to prevent them from breaking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of chips instead of potato chips?
Absolutely! While potato chips give a unique salty-sweet flavor, you can substitute them with pretzels for a crunchy texture or even chocolate chips for a sweeter cookie. Just keep in mind that this will alter the overall taste of the cookies.
What should I do if my dough is too crumbly?
If your dough is too crumbly, try adding a little more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency. Make sure not to add too much at once, as you don’t want the dough to become too wet.
How can I make these cookies gluten-free?
To make these cookies gluten-free, simply substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Additionally, ensure that the potato chips you use are certified gluten-free to keep the entire recipe safe for those with gluten sensitivities.
