A Sweet and Salty Sensation
A mashup of ultimate snacking proportions, these potato chip cookies are a sweet and salty dream come true. Sweet, soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies punctuated by crisp, salty pops of kettle chips–honestly, what more could you want? These are unique and irresistibly addictive, and I just know you’re going to love them. This recipe is really so easy. There’s no waiting for butter to soften, no need for a mixer, and no chilling. Using melted butter instead of softened keeps things quick and simple, and it adds a flavor and texture similar to my banana cookies. The hardest part is resisting eating all the dough before you bake it!

What You Need
Just a few basic ingredients come together to make these cookies. Here are a few of the stars in this recipe:
Melted butter. While we are going for a salty/sweet flavor combination here, it’s very important than you use unsalted butter in this recipe. Not only are we adding salty chips, but we’re also adding a sprinkle of sea salt at the end. If you use salted butter, your cookies will most definitely be too salty. Dark brown sugar. Dark brown sugar adds a richness and slight caramel flavor to the dough. If you don’t have any on hand, check out my post on how to make brown sugar (it’s easy!).Cornstarch. This makes our cookies nice and soft while also preventing them from spreading too much on the baking sheet.Potato chips. I recommend using thicker, sturdy chips, like kettle chips. Make sure yours are plain, salted chips (although maple bacon kettle chips might be an interesting combination🤔). Mini chocolate chips. Really any kind will work. I like to use semi-sweet chocolate chips!
SAM’S TIP: I recommend breaking up the potato chips with your hands, that way you can control how small the pieces get. We want chunks of chips, not pulverized crumbs. Remember, this is just an overview of the ingredients I used and why. For the full recipe please scroll down to the bottom of the post!
How to Make Potato Chip Cookies
SAM’S TIP: Since the potato chips tend to make this dough want to fall apart, I recommend briefly rolling your cookie scoops between your palms before baking for more uniform cookies. These cookies would make amazing ice cream sandwiches with some vanilla or chocolate ice cream–yum! Enjoy! Let’s bake together!
