Sweet and salty potato chip cookies made even better with a dip into melted chocolate. You've never tasted anything like Chocolate Dipped Potato Chip Cookies!
Mix butter, shortening (Crisco) and sugar until well combined. Add vanilla, flour and crushed potato chips.
Drop by 2 Tablespoons on a cookie sheet.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 13-15 minutes, until golden brown on bottom and white on top. When cool, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
If desired (which I do), dip in melted chocolate and refrigerate to set. Enjoy!
Notes
To make the cookies more uniform, and look smooth, roll into a ball and press top with thumb before baking. I usually do the first two batches like this, then give up cause I want to be done and turn my oven off!!
Store in an airtight container kept in a cool place. If your home runs warm and the chocolate starts to get melty, you can also keep them in the fridge for easy snacking.
Definitely use BOTH butter and shortening in the recipe if you can. This combination of fats creates a cookie with buttery flavor and a soft texture.
