Potato Chip Cookies

3/4 cup(s) (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter

1 cup(s) (packed) light brown sugar

1 cup(s) granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon(s) vanilla

2 cup(s) all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon(s) salt

1 teaspoon(s) baking soda

2 cup(s) (crushed) potato chips

1 cup(s) chocolate chips

DIRECTIONSHeat oven to 350 degrees F. Beat the butter and sugars together, using an electric mixer set on medium-high speed, until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to medium and beat in the eggs and vanilla. Reduce speed to low and mix in the flour, salt, and baking soda. Gently stir in the potato chips and chocolate chips.

Drop the cookie dough by tablespoonfuls, about 2 inches apart, onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Use peanut butter cookie mix or your own cookie dough to make these cute cookies.

Ingredients:

* 1 pkg (17 1/2 oz) peanut butter cookie mix*

* 1/3 cup vegetable oil

* 1 egg

* 60 miniature pretzel twists for antlers

* 60 semisweet chocolate chips for eyes

* 30 red hot candies for noses

Preparation:

*You can leave out the cookie mix, egg, and oil, and use your own peanut butter cookie dough recipe.

In mixing bowl, combine cookie mix, oil and egg. Beat until well blended. Shape peanut butter cookie dough into a 7 1/2-inch roll; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for about 1 hour, until chilled and firm. Unwrap and cut into 1/4-inch slices. Place cookies 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Using thumb and forefinger, make a slight indention about 1/3 of the way down the sides of each slice. Press in pretzels for antlers, chocolate chips for eyes and a red hot for the nose. Bake at 350 degrees for 9 to 12 minutes, or until light brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.

I usually make biscottis, peanut butter cup cookies, sugar cookies, cranberry orange cookies, & toffee bars. All these are great cookies. I usually make some of these for the holidays. For cheap, you can even buy kcookie cutters to make them into Christmas shapes!

We have always done sugar cookies from an old better homes and gardens cook book and then we have fun with icing and sprinkles. The funnest part i think is just decorating the cookies.
