How to Make the BEST Potato Chip Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Potato Chip Chocolate Chip Cookies: All purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, butter, large eggs, vanilla extract, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, broken ruffled potato chips and semi sweet chocolate chips.
  • Kitchen tools you’ll need: A stand mixer or a hand mixer, medium bowl, large bowl, whisk, measuring cups and spoons, medium cookie or ice cream scoop, large sheet pans, cookie spatula and cooling rack.
  • For these cookies I recommended using Ruffles potato chips or a similar private label brand of chips with ridges. They seem to hold up better when mixing into the cookie dough than thinner potato chips.
  • You can use semi sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips in these cookies.
  • You can make these cookies any size you like. When doing so make sure to adjust the baking time. Larger cookies will take longer to bake and smaller cookies will take less time. Adapt accordingly.
  • If you’d like the cookies to spread less cover and chill the dough for 30 minutes prior to dividing for baking.
  • You can store this cookie dough in an airtight container for up to one week.
  • You can also freeze the cookie dough for up to 2 months.
  • Store baked Potato Chip Chocolate Chip Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
