Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter melted and not too hot
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cup of all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1/2 cup of semisweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup of Kettle Cooked potato chips finely crushed + plus a little extra for sprinkling.

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° and line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the sugars and whisk in the melted butter until well mixed.
  • Add in the egg and the vanilla and whisk until well incorporated--about 30 seconds. 
  • To the wet ingredients, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until the dough is almost fully combined, but streaks of flour are still showing.
  • Pour in the butterscotch, chocolate, and 1/2 cup of crushed potato chips, and finish mixing the dough until no streaks of flour remain and the chips are well distributed.
  • Scoop the cookie dough (2 tablespoon size or #30 cookie scoop) onto the baking sheets. Leave a couple of inches between each cookie to account for spreading.
  • Use two fingers and press lightly into the center of the cookies to make an indentation. This will help the cookies to bake evenly.
  • Allow the cookie dough to sit for 5-10 minutes on the pan before baking. This allows the flour to hydrate and keeps the cookies from spreading too quickly in the oven.
  • Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with a few more crushed potato chips. 
  • Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are just starting to brown and the centers are slightly undercooked.
  • Remove from the oven and allow cookies to sit on the pan until cool enough to eat. Enjoy!

Notes

I like Cape Cod's "40% less fat Kettle Cooked" chips, in the flavor "Sea Salt" for these cookies.
