Ingredients:
- 1 cup margarine
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup crushed potato chips
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or lightly greasing them.
-
Cream Margarine and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. You can use a hand mixer or a stand mixer for this step.
-
Add Egg Yolk: Once the margarine and sugar are well combined, add the egg yolk to the mixture. Continue to beat until the yolk is fully incorporated.
-
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour to the mixture, mixing well after each addition. Then, fold in the crushed potato chips and chopped nuts (if using). The potato chips add a unique crunch and flavor to these cookies!
-
Form Cookie Dough: Mix all the ingredients together until you have a cohesive cookie dough. The dough may seem a bit crumbly due to the potato chips, but that’s normal.
-
Drop Dough onto Baking Sheets: Using a teaspoon or a cookie scoop, drop small spoonfuls of dough onto your prepared baking sheets. Leave some space between each cookie as they will spread slightly while baking.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown. Keep an eye on them as they bake; you want them to be lightly golden but not too dark.
-
Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. These Potato Chip Cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
These Potato Chip Cookies are a delightful blend of sweet and salty flavors, making them a perfect treat for any occasion. Whether you’re baking them for a special event or simply craving something delicious, these cookies are sure to please. Enjoy!
