Potato chip cookies

Potato Chip Cookies

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature

1/2 cup sugar

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3/4 cup crushed plain potato chips

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, cream the butter and the sugar until light, about 2 minutes.  Mix in the flour, vanilla, and crushed potato chips.  The dough will be soft.

Drop the dough by heaping teaspoonfuls about 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.  Flatten the dough mounds slightly with the back of a spoon.

Bake in the center of the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden on the bottom and firm to the touch.

Cool for 2 minutes on the cookie sheets, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.  Makes 38 cookies.
