Ingredients

  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter at room temp
  • 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 heaping cup crushed potato chips + more if desired
  • 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla, and beat on medium speed until just combined. Add the flour, baking soda and salt, and mix on low speed until just combined. Add in the chocolate chips, the crushed potato chips and the walnuts and turn on the mixer for just a few seconds to combine.
  • Scoop out the cookie dough, (about a heaping tablespoon sized scoop) and place the cookie dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets and bake until golden, for about 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy with a big glass of milk!
