Dark Chocolate and Potato Chip Cookies
Author Adapted from Bakers Royale, Naomi Robinson
Yield 28-30 Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, cold
- 1 cup packed, light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon dark molasses
- 5 oz. dark chocolate – chips or broken pieces, plus a little extra for Step 7
- 5 oz. semi-sweet chocolate – chips of broken pieces, plus a little extra for Step 7
- 5 oz. potato chips, lightly crushed in your hand, plus a little extra for Step 7
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the butter at medium-high speed until smooth about 2-3 minutes. Add both sugars and beat well, until light and fluffy.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the egg. Best until well-combined. Next add the molasses and beat again.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the flour – all at once – and beat on low until just-combined. Don’t over beat.
- Fold in the chocolate and potato chips.
- Use a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop, or smaller if you like to form dough into balls. Drop balls onto cookie sheets lined with parchment paper.
- Into each dough ball, press a few chocolate chips and some crushed potato chips. Press them very lightly – and just enough – to make the chocolate chips or chunks, and crushed potato chips stick to the surface.
- Bake at 350, 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. If you make your cookies smaller, check for doneness at about 9 minutes.
- Halfway through, be sure to switch the cookie pans/sheets from top to bottom and front to bake for more even baking.
- Remove from oven and transfer baking sheet to a wire rack to cool for 1-2 minutes before removing cookies to a rack to cool.
Notes
Notes:
- No nutrition analysis for this recipe. Frankly, you probably don’t want it.
- If you make the cookies smaller cut the cooking time by a few minutes and test to make sure they are done.
- I used Lay's original potato chips.
