Sally's Potatochip Sandies

Ingredients

• Two sticks, 1/2 pound, unsalted butter at room temperature
• One cup confectioners sugar, plus more for dusting
• One large egg yolk, at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• One and a half cups flour
• Three quarters of a cup, 2 1/2 ounces, crusted potato chips
• 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oven to 350°. Place the butter and sugar in a large bowl; beat until smooth and creamy, about three minutes. Add the egg yolk and vanilla; beat well. With the mixer on low, gradually add flour. Scrape down the sides of the bowl; gently fold the potato chips, and nuts into the dough with a spatula
Using a small 2 teaspoons size cookie scoop, drop scoops of the dough about 2 inches apart onto parchment lined cookie sheets. Bake until the cookies begin to brown at the edges, 12 to 15 minutes, rotating the cookie sheets on the oven racks halfway through the baking time. Cool on the cookie sheets, three minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining cookie dough on cool cookie sheets.
