Tips & Tricks (5)

Crush Potato Chips Strategically 🥔
Pulse potato chips in a food processor until they're broken into small pieces but not powder—this maintains texture and prevents the cookies from becoming too dense or greasy.
Use Unsalted Butter & Quality Chips 🧈
Start with unsalted butter and quality potato chips to control the salt level precisely, ensuring the sweet-salty balance isn't overpowered by excess sodium from the chips themselves.
Chill Dough Before Baking ❄️
Refrigerate your dough for at least 30 minutes to prevent cookies from spreading too thin and to help them maintain their tender texture with crispy edges.
Toast the Chips First 🌟
Lightly toast your crushed potato chips in a 300°F oven for 2-3 minutes before adding to the dough to intensify their savory flavor and remove excess oil.
Don't Overbake for Perfect Texture 🕐
Remove cookies from the oven when the edges are just golden but the centers still look slightly underdone—they'll continue cooking as they cool and stay perfectly chewy inside.
