Potato Chip Cookies
I’m excited to have a guest in our kitchen today on SouthernPlate.com. Please welcome Tricia from Hodge Podge Mom as she shares her grandmother’s recipe for potato chip cookies! I can’t wait to make these – Thank you so much Tricia!
Gratefully,
Christy
I just mix up those crushed chips, some flour, butter, vanilla, and sugar, bake them in the oven and you’ve got cookies!
I hope you’ll get to try these soon!

Oh, I bet these would be good with half of the cookie dipped in melted chocolate! TFS!!
Thanks Sonya! Mary – now that is a deliciously wonderful idea. I’m in the chocolate dipped club!
I add 1/2 to 1 cup chopped pecans
I have been making these cookies for several years ,but I used chopped pecans,really yummy that way
If I want to add pecans???? How much????
Teri – I’d say about as much as the almonds – 2 to 2 1/2 oz. But to your tastes! When I make them with almonds, I use the slivered kind. So, it would be best if they were chopped, I’d think. Lindsay at top might know better since she says she makes them with pecans.
I was so intrigued by this recipe and didn’t have the potato chips so had to go buy some and crush them because I couldn’t wait! I used whole almonds and chopped them and they are absolutely delicious! I am sure the sliced almonds would be easier to chop though. I want to try them with pecans too! I would guess chopped it would be about 1/3 cup maybe but the nuts add a wonderful taste to the cookie. Thanks so much for the recipe!
Anne – I am most impressed! I, like you, have often used fresh chips because I couldn’t wait. 🙂
These look interesting! I hate the bottom of the bag chips and usually put them on the top of a chicken casserole. I homeschooled 5 children all the way through and 4 of them got full scholarships to college so my time paid for itself and I got to spend all those years with my kids. 🙂
Oh Lana – come sit by me and let me learn from you, fellow homeschool mama! Great job! Glad I could help you find another use for your bottom of the bag chips.
Am back to say they are a Winner!!! and ask what kind of cookies were they as they were been eaten warm!hum… Now for what I did.. I do like almonds and had none so.. added 1/2t. almond extract, along with the 2t. vanilla.. great taste. in stead of having to “sqeeze” the dough I used my smallest scoop[about 1T. ] I then pressed it in it when I put it on the cookie sheet I then used a fork and pressed lightly.. did great and made a few over 4doz. cooked them17min.
Thanks again and I will make them again. and by the way No one guessed what kind they were!!!
Bettie – you are mighty talented to have already made them! Thank you for the cookie tips. The recipe does make a bunch! (And, yes, no one will ever guess they have potato chips in them – unless you tell. Which you must. Because they are so unique!)
Used to make these years ago…we all loved them! Thanks for reminding me that I need to make some NOW! So yummy and crunchy!
