Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter (melted)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg

Sugars

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup crumbled potato chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the cookies evenly.
  2. Combine Wet and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, add the melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Vanilla and Egg: Mix in the vanilla extract and the large egg until just combined, making sure not to overmix to keep the dough tender.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the bowl. Mix until just combined to prevent overworking the dough which could make the cookies tough.
  5. Fold in Add-ins: Stir in the milk chocolate chips and crumbled potato chips by hand. Reserve a few potato chips to press gently onto the tops of the cookie dough balls if you want a nice crunchy topping.
  6. Portion Cookies: Use a large cookie scoop to drop balls of cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them to allow for spreading.
  7. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for exactly 11 minutes. The cookies will look slightly underdone when you take them out. This ensures they stay soft and chewy inside.
  8. Cool Cookies: Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes after removing them from the oven before transferring them to a cooling rack or serving.

Notes

  • Do not overbake the cookies; removing them while slightly underdone provides the best texture.
  • Pressing reserved potato chips on top before baking adds extra crunch and visual appeal.
  • Using parchment paper helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.
  • Allow cookies to cool slightly before handling to avoid breaking.
