How to Make Chocolate Chip Potato Chip Cookies
Chewy, sweet, lightly salty chocolate chip potato chip cookies are just a few ingredients away! And thankfully, now we know what to do with those crushed chips at the bottom of the bag, if we don’t just turn that bag upside down and pour them into our mouths, that is. 😉
While I am an ALL COOKIE LOVER (click here to see my entire cookie recipe collection) there is always a soft spot for chocolate chips with everyone I know. This is one of those fun recipes you can bring and folks will say “Now WHAT did you say these were?”, prompting them to eat one out of curiosity, and then a second out of need.
Let’s get baking!
Now y’all know I tend to lean towards generic when it comes to ingredients so if I ever tell you I use a name brand you need to know that it makes a difference. Having said that, feel free to use generic anyway because I am not the boss of you.
To make these chocolate chip potato chip cookies you’ll need:
- Unsalted butter
- Brown sugar
- White sugar
- Eggs
- Self rising flour
- Vanilla
- Semi sweet chocolate chips (I really like Ghirardelli’s for this recipe)
- Some crushed potato chips
- In large mixing bowl, place butter, brown sugar, and white sugar.
- Beat with an electric mixer until well combined and creamy.
- To mixing bowl add: eggs, flour, and vanilla.
- Beat again until fully incorporated, scraping down sides if needed.
- Add in chocolate chips and potato chips and mix again until integrated into the dough.
- Cover dough and refrigerate for an hour.
I know you probably want to skip this step. I get it. Patience is not one of my spiritual gifts. 😉 But I actually bit the bullet and wait the hour on these to get the texture I want.
- Using a cookie dough scoop (about a tablespoon in size), place scoops of dough about two inches apart on lightly greased baking sheet.
- I mosh them down just a tiny bit in the middle so they aren’t ball shaped, but not much.
- Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes, being careful not to over brown but removing when it is just lightly browned around the edges.
Oh. My. Goodness. Make sure you try one warm!
They are great at room temp of course but once they have cooled I like to wrap one in a paper towel and put it in the microwave for a ten seconds or so.
Beautiful little cookies! You’ve been good all week and now it is time to reward yourself!
Enjoy.

I looked back and it was 2018 when I first found your recipe and I commented at that time. These are our all-time favorite cookies!! They are even better a couple of days after they’re made. Thank you again for this fabulous recipe. I do use the Ghiradelli chocolate chips and I use Watkins vanilla. They are so good!
Have made these several times. Each time there is someone new that can be highly skeptical of the combination until that first bite. Don’t know where this recipe originated ,but it remains at the top of my most requested
Hi Bette, I know! I have experienced that same thing. Thank you for letting me know it’s one of your most requested!
Made the cookies and found too buttery, fingers creasy when holding them plus far too much sugar overly sweet.
How many cookies does this make? I may need to halve or double.
