2cupsslightly crushed wavy potato chipsdivided. I used Ruffles potato chips
1 ¼cupssemi-sweet chocolate chips
additional kosher salt or Maldon sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F, and line a baking sheet or sheets with a sheet of parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a mixing bowl, beat the butter, cream cheese and sugar until smooth and well combined, about 3 minutes.
Add the vegetable oil, egg, milk, and vanilla. Mix thoroughly until completely smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the dry ingredients until just combined. Add 1 cup of the potato chips and the chocolate chips, and mix completely.
Using a medium (2 tablespoons) cookie scoop, place scoops of dough onto prepared cookie sheet(s) about an inch apart. They will spread slightly, but not too much.
Bake cookies for 13-15 minutes or until just slightly golden. Immediately upon removing from the oven, add some additional crushed potato chips to the top of each cookie and sprinkle each with a small amount of additional kosher or Maldon salt. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for a couple minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
You’ll want to use a thicker potato chip for this recipe as it will give you a better texture and crunch. If sprinkling with the finishing salt, use slightly less of the Maldon salt than the kosher because of its' stronger taste and larger crystal size.
