As I mentioned yesterday, I was in CT visiting my mom and some of my siblings this past weekend. I (as usual) was in the mood for baking and decided to whip up a special little treat for them. I'd found a recipe on another blog for Potato Chip Cookies which sounded delightfully intriguing. I love that salty sweet combo!
My roommate, brother, sister and mother all loved these cookies. They are sort of like a pecan sandy (sandie?), dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with a little sea salt for good measure.
If you'd like to take a crack at these delicious cookies, you can check out the recipe below:
Ingredients:
1 cup of butter, softened
3/4 c. granulated sugar
3/4 c. crushed potato chips
1/2 c. ground pecans
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 c. all purpose flour
Confectioners sugar for flattening cookies
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, or with a hand mixer in a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy; about 3 minutes. With your mixer on low speed, add in potato chips and pecans and mix on low speed until fully incorporated. Add vanilla and mix until thoroughly combined. Stir in flour and mix the flour is just combined; do not over-mix
3. Scoop dough into 1 inch balls. Place dough balls about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets
4. Slightly flatten each dough ball with a glass dipped in confectioners’ sugar.
5. Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
6. Dip cookies about 1/4 to 1/2 way in melted chocolate and then lightly sprinkle with sea salt
