Peanut Butter and Potato Chip Cookies



Yes, you read that right. Potato chips. In cookies. 

When and if I sub-categorize my recipes, this will not fall under a "healthy" sweet. But a bit of indulgence now and then is okay, right?  Otherwise, it wouldn't be an indulgence. 

These cookies are: 1.The perfect combination of soft/crispy, salty/sweet, rich/smooth; 2. Gone.
I gave a couple plates away to friends, partially because I enjoy sharing something yummy I've come up with, and partially because my hubby was afraid to have so many around the house. He likes cookies.

I used Reeses Pieces in this batch. M&Ms would work well, too. Or you can leave out candies.

Soon after this pic was taken, so were the cookies. :)

On to the recipe: 

Peanut Butter and Potato Chip Cookies
makes about 40

Ingredients:
2.5 cups all-purpose flour
1.25 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
2/3 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1.5 cups coarsely crushed potato chips
1.5 cups Reeses Pieces or M&Ms candy, optional

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°.  Prepare baking sheets with spray, parchment, or silicone mat. 
2. Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, sugars, and egg. Add peanut butter and vanilla and mix well.  Gradually beat in flour mixture.
3. By hand, stir in crushed potato chips and candies. 
4. Drop by tablespoon onto baking sheets.  I used a medium cookie scoop, then pressed them down just slightly so the dough wasn't such a high mound. 
5. Bake 10 minutes.  Remove promptly to cool on wire racks.
