Description

Ditch the usual chocolate (chips) and try something new. Combine peanut butter and potato chips and you will get delicious crunchy cookies :)


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (120g) butter
  • 1 tbsp. peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 cups (200g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp. coarse sea salt
  • 5 oz. (140g) salted potato chips, crushed
  • 1/4 cup (30g) pecans, chopped

Instructions

  1. Add the butter and peanut butter to a large bowl and mix on high speed until light in color. Add the sugars and mix until fluffy. Add the egg and mix in well, add the vanilla extract and mix in. Mix the flour, baking soda, and salt and add to the bowl – mix until just combined. Crush the chips and add half of it to the bowl and fold in – keep the rest for later. Add the chopped pecans and fold in. Place the dough in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to form dough balls – roll those balls in the remaining potato chips until covered completely and place on the baking sheet with enough space in between. Bake for 15-18 minutes – the cookies should have some color but should be still soft in the middle. Take out of the oven and let cool down on the baking sheet until you can move them, then let cool down completely on a wire rack.

Notes

  • Enjoy baking!
