By MaryEllen

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus 1/2 cup more for coating
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3/4 cup potato chips, crushed
• 1/2 cup pecans, chopped

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 375F. Cream the butter and 1/2 cup sugar in a large bowl
with an electric mixer on high speed. Lower to medium speed and add the
vanilla. Add the flour and cinnamon to the butter mixture. Beat on low
speed until incorporated. Fold in the potato chips and pecans. Form into
approximately 1 1/2-inch balls. Dredge in the remaining sugar. Place on
parchment- or foil-lined baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake until
golden brown around the edges, about 13 minutes. Let cool on sheets for
5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks. Yield: Makes 2 1/2 dozen.
