I'm using waffle cut potato chips for this recipe despite being crushed, I feel like the waffle cut chips are crunchier and hold up nicely when baking. This potato chip butter cookie recipe is a fun conversation starter ( what's the secret ingredient? why does it work so well - the pinch of salt, or the bit of crunch?), and while it does sound a bit of an odd duck, it really is a combination that works wonders. Or, you can pull out my super-secret ingredient: potato chips!įor those of you that know me, you know I can polish off a bag of potato chips in one sitting, so the fact that a bag stuck around long enough to be used in a recipe is saying something. Lemon zest can brighten up what appears to be an otherwise ordinary treat. Cinnamon chips are a great addition, for example, with unexpected flavor. They also make terrific hostess gifts or treats for your neighbors.Īlthough simple butter cookies are great, I like to have a little fun and change it up sometimes. They're just perfect after a dinner party with a coffee bar or hot cup of tea.
There's nothing like a good, simple, old fashioned butter cookie to brighten up the day.
