Serving Size: 36

Cooking Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 Cup white sugar
• 1 Large egg
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) pure vanilla extract
• 1.5 Cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 Cup potato chips, crushed
• 0.5 Cup walnuts, toasted
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving a tender cookie texture.
3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. This will add moisture and flavor to the cookies.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
5. Gently fold in the crushed potato chips and toasted walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press down each ball to slightly flatten.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Be careful not to overbake to maintain a soft center.
8. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
