Prepare Time
- Preparation Time: 15 minutes
- Cooking Time: 10-12 minutes per batch
- Total Time: Approximately 25-27 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 ¼ cups flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 2 cups crushed potato chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips (adjust to taste)
Directions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Gradually add this to the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in Chips: Gently fold in the crushed potato chips and butterscotch chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Bake: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Cook Notes
The key to the perfect cookie texture is not overmixing the dough once the flour is added. Mix until just combined to keep the cookies tender.
Variations
Keto Version
For a keto-friendly version, substitute the sugars with a granulated keto sweetener, use almond flour instead of all-purpose flour, and look for sugar-free butterscotch chips. Consider making your own keto-friendly potato chips or using a low-carb alternative for crunch.
Low-Carb Version
Similar to the keto version, use low-carb substitutes for the sugars and flour, and reduce the amount of butterscotch chips or find a low-carb substitute.
