Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup crushed potato chips
- 1 cup Reese's Pieces
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of unsalted butter, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 cup of brown sugar. Use an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
- Mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This will help to evenly distribute the leavening agent and salt throughout the flour.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of crushed potato chips and 1 cup of Reese's Pieces using a spatula or wooden spoon. Ensure that they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set. The cookies may appear slightly underbaked in the center, but they will continue to cook as they cool.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious Reese's Chocolate Potato Chip Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
Tips
- Make sure your butter is at room temperature for easier creaming and better cookie texture.
- Don't overmix the dough - this can lead to tough, dense cookies. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- For extra crunch, crush the potato chips into varied sizes - some fine, some slightly larger.
- Use parchment paper or silicone baking mats for easier cookie removal and more even baking.
- Allow cookies to cool completely to let the flavors meld and texture set perfectly.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crispness.
- For a fun variation, try different flavored potato chips or swap Reese's Pieces with crushed Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker, less spread-out cookies.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and more professional-looking results.
- Don't be afraid to experiment - baking is an art, and these cookies are your delicious canvas!
