Line baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
In bowl of stand mixer cream butter and sugar for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
Turn mixer to low and add in egg, yolk, milk and vanilla. Increase speed to medium and mix until smooth and incorporated.
Turn mixer back down to low and add in flour, baking soda and salt, mixing until combined.
Add in Snickers candy and mix until evenly distributed. And finally add in potato chips and pulse until combined. Don't over mix, as all the chips will break up too much.
Drop by heaping tablespoon onto lined baking sheet and bake 9-10 minutes until edges are golden. Allow to cool 2-3 minutes on baking sheet and transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.

NITEY NIGHT COOKIES

Nitey Night Cookies image

These are called Nitey Night Cookies because you put them in a preheated - but turned-off oven - overnight, and when you wake up, they're ready to eat! My mom used to make them for me as a kid and I thought it was great fun.

Tips:

Use room temperature ingredients: This ensures that your cookies will mix together evenly and bake properly.
Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing can make your cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps to develop the flavor and makes the cookies less likely to spread.
Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough: This helps to ensure that your cookies are all the same size and shape.
Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking can make your cookies dry and crumbly.
Let the cookies cool completely before storing: This helps to prevent them from becoming soggy.
