Potato Chip Cookies

By srumbel

I remember thinking, “potato chips…in cookies?” But it just works…dangerously well. In fact, thanks to the deliciousness of the potato chips, this cookie recipe uses less sugar than most other cookie recipes. As for the butter…well, it’s still got plenty of that. These cookies remind me through and through of Christmas growing up and all the fond memories I have of my Grannie.
