Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
Dry Ingredients
- 1 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup crumbled potato chips
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to ensure it’s ready for baking the cookies at the perfect temperature.
- Combine Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, add the melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Stir well until the mixture is creamy and combined, creating a smooth base for the dough.
- Add Vanilla and Egg: Mix in the vanilla extract and the egg until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, which can make the cookies tough.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix gently until just combined, forming the cookie dough without overworking it.
- Fold in Add-ins: Stir in the milk chocolate chips and crumbled potato chips by hand to evenly distribute the flavors and crunchy texture. Reserve a few potato chip crumbs to press on top of each dough ball for added visual appeal and crunch.
- Shape Cookies: Using a large cookie scoop, drop balls of cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them adequately to allow spreading during baking.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for exactly 11 minutes. The cookies will look slightly underdone when removed; this ensures they remain soft and chewy.
- Cool Cookies: Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes after baking before transferring them to a cooling rack to finish setting and prevent breaking.
Notes
- Do not overbake the cookies; they will continue to cook slightly on the baking sheet once removed from the oven.
- Using crumbled potato chips adds a unique savory crunch that pairs surprisingly well with chocolate chips.
- Pressing a few potato chip crumbs on top before baking enhances both texture and presentation.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to keep them fresh.
