Salty and sweet is a combination you cannot beat! Today we are baking potato chip cookies, a retro recipe that got its start in the 1940s according to The Food Timeline when potato chip companies started promoting their products through recipes. In the 1950s the Potato Chip Institute International began sponsoring an annual Men's National Cooking Championship, which, you guessed it, required participants to include potato chips in their recipes. Many participants made potato chip cookies and popularized the retro recipe.
How to Make Potato Chip Cookies
Preheat your oven to 350F and lightly grease baking sheets. In a large bowl beat together unsalted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, baking powder, and vanilla extract. Stir in the all-purpose flour and fold in the crushed potato chips. Drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets by the teaspoonful. Bake until the edges are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove the cookies to a wire rack and cool to room temperature.
