My Mom used to make these for the holidays when we were little and I dragged out the recipe to make them myself.  Very very simple recipe and a great way to use up that half bag of chips that will go stale if you don’t do something with them………yummmmm……Enjoy!

Potato Chip Cookies

1 pound butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups crushed potato chips
2 eggs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside

Cream together the butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla.

Mix in the flour and potato chips and stir well.

Drop by teaspoon onto cookie sheets about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
