POTATO CHIP-CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Potato Chip-Chocolate Chip Cookies image

A mix of salty potato chips and chocolate chips gives these shortbread cookies a playful, sweet and savory appeal. Adapted from Shauna Sever's cookbook, "Midwest Made," these cookies taste best one day after baking, when the flavors have had a chance to meld. They will last for 3 to 4 days stored airtight at room temperature. Bring them to your next bake sale and watch them sell out in a flash. If you don't have European-style cultured butter on hand, regular unsalted butter will also work.

Time 1h

Yield 4 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces/225 grams unsalted European-style cultured butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 (packed) cup/110 grams light brown sugar
1/4 cup/30 grams confectioners' sugar
2 cups/255 grams unbleached all-purpose flour
2 cups/190 grams finely crushed thin potato chips, such as Lay's Classic
1 cup/175 grams semisweet chocolate chips
1 large egg
A few pinches granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 375 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter, vanilla and salt on medium-high speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Add brown sugar and confectioners' sugar and beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes more. Scrape down sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, then add flour. Mix on low speed until a smooth dough forms. Add 1 cup/95 grams crushed potato chips and all the chocolate chips, then beat until blended.
  • On a work surface, spread about half the remaining crushed potato chips out into a 10-by-12-inch rectangle. Turn dough out onto chips and pat it somewhat flat. Cover surface of dough with parchment paper or plastic wrap. Using a rolling pin, roll dough into a 7-by-11-inch rectangle (about 1/2-inch thick). Remove parchment or plastic.
  • In a small bowl, beat egg, granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon water until very smooth. Lightly brush surface of dough with egg wash, then sprinkle evenly with remaining crushed potato chips. Roll the rolling pin over the top of dough to encourage chips to adhere. Use a bench scraper or knife to cut dough into 4 dozen 1 1/4-inch-square cookies. Transfer cookies with bench scraper or small offset spatula to the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 1/2 inches apart.
  • Bake 1 sheet of cookies at a time until set and golden, about 15 minutes. Let cookies cool for 3 minutes on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. They will crisp up as they cool.

POTATO CHIP-CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

Categories     dessert

Time 50m

Yield about 18 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 cups kettle-cooked potato chips (from one 8-ounce bag)
5 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped (or 1 cup chocolate chunks)
5 ounces caramel milk chocolate (such as mini Ghirardelli bars), chopped
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Flaky sea salt, for topping

Steps:

  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 375 degrees F. Put 2 heaping cups potato chips in a large bowl and add the semisweet and caramel milk chocolates; set aside. Put the remaining 3 cups potato chips in a resealable plastic bag and finely crush with the bottom of a measuring cup; transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on high speed until very fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla, beating well after each addition until creamy. Reduce the mixer speed to low; gradually beat in the flour mixture until combined. Add the potato chip?chocolate mixture and beat until combined.
  • Roll the dough into large balls (about 1/4 cup dough each), then roll in the crushed potato chips. Arrange 2 inches apart on 3 unlined baking sheets. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are browned around the edges but still soft, 20 to 22 minutes. Immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Transfer the pans to racks and let cool 10 minutes, then slide a spatula under the cookies and transfer to the racks to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use the right chips: Choose a sturdy chip that won't crumble easily when mixed into the dough. Kettle-cooked or ridged chips work well.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour and make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: This will help the cookies to get crispy on the edges and chewy in the center.
  • Don't overbake the cookies: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly. Bake them just until they are set in the center.

Conclusion:

Potato chip chocolate chunk cookies are a fun and easy treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit with your friends and family. So next time you have a craving for something sweet, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
