Ingredients
Instructions
- Soften the butter.
- Mix the softened butter with sugar and vanilla.
- Add crushed potato chips and flour to the mixture.

- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 to 20 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. If you want a twist, try adding some chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the dough along with the potato chips. Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing. If you find the dough too sticky, chill it for 30 minutes before baking.
Serving Suggestions
These cookies make a delightful treat on their own or can be paired with a glass of milk or a cup of tea. For a fun dessert platter, consider serving them alongside other sweet treats like Mom'S Sugar Cookies(Tea Cakes) or Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookies. Dusting the cookies with powdered sugar before serving adds a nice touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze the cookies by placing them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transferring them to a freezer bag once frozen. To reheat, warm in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for a few minutes until just warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use margarine instead of butter in this recipe?
Yes, you can use margarine, but the flavor and texture may differ slightly. Butter gives the cookies a richer taste and better spread, while margarine may result in a firmer cookie. If you choose margarine, ensure it's in stick form for best results.
What can I do if my dough is too crumbly?
If your dough is too crumbly, try adding a tablespoon of milk or water to help bind it together. Mix gently until the dough holds together but avoid overmixing, as this may affect the texture of your cookies.
Can I substitute other types of chips for the potato chips?
Absolutely! You can experiment with other savory chips like nacho cheese chips or even pretzel pieces for a different flavor profile. Just keep in mind that the texture and flavor will change based on your choice of chips.
