Happy National Sugar Cookie Day! Will you be taking part in this sweet, yet secret, holiday? I sure do hope so. If you don’t have a sugar cookie recipe in mind you may want to take a peek at what I made this week. Sugar cookies are the most simple recipe out there but they are also versatile. You can do so much with your traditional recipe! For example, why not make it sweet…. AND salty? Inspired by my love for potato chips and baking I decided to make a batch of Sweet + Salty Potato Chip Sugar Cookies to celebrate.

 Sweet + Salty Potato Chip Cookies


Ingredients:

  • 2 sticks of softened butter     
  • 1 cup granulated sugar  
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour    
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract    
  • 2 large eggs  
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda     
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3 cups of crushed salted potato chips


Instructions:

  1. Heat oven to 350ยฐ F. Line cookie sheet or pan with parchment paper.
  2. In medium sized bowl use a mixer to beat sugar and butter together on a low speed until fluffy.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until well blended.
  4. Beat mixture on low speed, adding baking soda, sea salt, and flour.
  5. Add 2 cups of crushed potato chips.
  6. Use ice cream scooper to form small balls of cookie dough. Roll them in remaining cup of crushed potato chips, coating the outside. 
  7. Place cookie balls on baking sheet and allow to bake for 20 minutes.

    This is an awesome idea! I always need something salty to even out the sweetness of cookies. Maybe this will be a one stop shop for me!

    oooh yeah! My mom would go crazy for these. She's a salt bug, not a sugar bug. A great way to include her in dessert.

    My friend makes potato chip cookies every year around Christmas! They taste great but I'm not big on salty and sweet together. Your cookies look so pretty!
