- Ingredients:

- Yields:
-
3-4 dozen
ingredients
- 16 tablespoons butter, softened (2 sticks)
- 3⁄4 cup sugar
- 1 cup flour
- 3⁄4 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup finely-crushed finely-crushed salted plain potato chips (about 4-oz.)
- powdered sugar
directions
- Whisk together flour and cornstatch. Set aside.
- Cream together butter and sugar. Gradually add flour qnd mix well. Add vanilla and potato chips and mix well. Fold in cold chocolate chips. Chill 15 to 30 minutes.
- Scoop out walnut-sized balls of dough with a small ice cream scoop or spoon and drop onto ungreased parchment-covered cookie sheets about 2-inches apart. Take a flat-bottomed drinking glass, dip in powdered sugar, and gently flatten the cookies slightly. (Don't flatten too much or make them too large as they will be too thin and will crumble easily).
- Bake at 350°F for 12 to 14 minutes until edges are faintly golden. Let cool 5 minutes before removing with a spatula to racks. Let cookies cool before serving and storing. Have fun asking your family or guests the secret ingredient(potato chips).
- Note*Use the thin-style, plain chips, not the ruffled ones or Composite chips like Pringles. To crush the chips, put them into a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush them. The grains should be slightly larger than large grains of kosher salt. Prep time includes chill time.

These are a big hit at my house. These are different from other cookies in their fragility, a lot like shortbread in consistency. Caution: the ingredients list doesn't list the white chocolate chips, so when I came to the part about adding them, a very confused me grabbed the chocolate ones! These would be even more outstanding with white chips. Tip: these are so fragile that I wouldn't recommend serving or eating them warm; they are their sturdiest best cooled. Thanks, FLUFFSTER, for a fun and crazy cookie! Made for My 3 Chefs event.

I would like to welcome you to my recipes. I have been with Food.com since 10/05.
My beloved husband, Tom, passed away 3 years ago. My world stopped. It's taken me all this time to find my way back to life without him.
I have been so blessed to have found my second, once in a lifetime. I've met an amazing man who is so good to me.
We moved from Las Vegas, Nevada to Bullhead City, Az. in February, and we love it here.
I have worked at Bally's and Paris hotel.casinos, in Las Vegas. I have seen some very famous entertainers, including Liza Minnelli, Penn and Teller, Ray Liotta, Dr. J (Julius Erving), Frank Sinatra and his wife Barbara Marx. and many, many more.
Cooking is my passion, and I am slowly, but surely beginning to venture into the world of baking. To me, cooking is so much easier because baking is so much more exact.
I love to make Italian and Mexican food the best, followed by Chinese and last, but by far the least, good old American food! How can you beat chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy?? I love to find several recipes and put my own spin on them and create a new recipe.
