Potato Chip Cookie
Fast, easy and tasty cookies that can be made without a trip to the grocery store to buy extra ingredients. This is a very easy, inexpensive recipe that goes a long way, especially when it is your turn to bring something to a bake sale. It also gets rid of the left over potato chips that are stale.

Ingredients

36 servings
  • 2 cups softened margarine
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup crushed potato chips
  • 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Cream margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Add flour and vanilla, mix well.
  2. Add crushed potato chips gradually, mixing well after each addition.
  3. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool and sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar.

Tips and Techniques

These cookies have a delicate, buttery texture with a hint of saltiness from the potato chips. They’re best when cooled completely before dusting with confectioner’s sugar. Store in an airtight container to keep them from getting soggy.
