Ingredients

  • 1 lb margarine
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 cups flour
  • 3.5 ounces bag potato chips

Instructions

  1. Mix margarine, sugar, vanilla, flour, and crushed potato chips together in a bowl.
  2. Drop teaspoons of the dough onto a cookie sheet.
  3. Bake in a 350°F oven for 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown.

Tips & Substitutions

For a twist, consider adding a cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the dough. If you're out of margarine, softened butter can be used as a substitute, though it may slightly alter the texture. Be sure to crush the potato chips into small pieces to distribute the flavor evenly throughout the cookies. For a fun variation, try adding a pinch of sea salt on top before baking.

Serving Suggestions

These potato chip cookies are delightful on their own but can be paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. They also make a fun addition to a dessert platter alongside treats like Grandma'S Crumb Dessert or Elaine'S Fruit Dip. For a savory twist, serve them with a side of Pickled Refrigerator Onion Rings to balance the sweetness.

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 in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. To reheat, simply pop them in a preheated oven at 350°F for a few minutes until warmed through.
