Looking for cookies to serve during your July 4 festivities? Bake this cookie that creates an explosion of flavors in your mouth, of the sweet-savory kind. The sweet drop cookies are nicely contrasted by the saltiness of the chips, but get a fascinating flavor dimension from the nutty Smooth Operator peanut butter. One bite and even doubters will be singing a new story.
Note: I found that you can also get extra flavor-points by using The Bee’s Knees peanut butter, which adds pleasing mellow end-note from the honey mingling with the brown sugar.
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Yield: 12 jumbo or 24 small cookies
Ingredients
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
2 tablespoons Smooth Operator or The Bee’s Knees peanut butter
1 egg
¼ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup white sugar
¾ cup crushed potato chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
Procedure
1. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Mix in the egg. Stir in the peanut butter and mix well. Stir in potato chips. Add vanilla; mix well.
2. Stir in flour just until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and forms a ball. Shape into 1-in. balls; place 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
3. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then on a wire rack for 30 minutes before serving.

YUM!!!!!
these look deliicous! hits all my favorites, sweet, salty and peanut buttery
Can I use Gluten Free flour in this cookie recipe?
Joan C. ….. sure, you can use GF flour in almost any recipe.
Actually, our bodies do not really need gluten. The latest findings have been that it adds weight on us. You can also use other flours.
I’ve made this recipe many times …. also, I use unsalted chips. Taste is much better. A bit milder.
