It's crazy right?
Potato chips in cookies!?
If you love that salty and sweet combination anywhere as much as I do then you'll really enjoy these cookies. After devouring a few, I actually wish I would have put more potato chips in them!
The idea came to me from a number of different avenues...
Remember when I used to work at The Sweet Factory? Well, they sold chocolate covered potato chips there and to be honest, they were surprisingly quite amazing.
A have I ever told you about how much I
And of course, everyone knows the combination of peanut butter and chocolate is a no-brainer.
So if you're following my crazy logic you can plainly see it's a simple "if-then" equation:
If chocolate + potato chips = fantastic,
and peanut butter + potato chips = phenomenal,
and chocolate + peanut butter = amazing,
then chocolate + peanut butter + potato chips = fantastically & phenomenally amazing

It's like you read my mind Evan, I LOVE peanut butter and have been craving it like crazy lately! Especially paired with salty. Yum. If you and MM ever break up, I will gladly marry you ;]
The equation added up in my head. I love chocolate covered potato chips and any bakery that sells them I will buy the whole lot. I too am a potato chip on sandwiches fan. Especially nacho cheese Doritos on tuna sandwiches. My uncle got us kids hooked on that during a cross country drive to Disneyland. These cookies will be added to my must make list. Yummy!
Wow, okay, I can dig it. I mean, why not, if we're putting bacon in sweets too. Why not chips! These look delicious!
I'm going to have to make those!! :-) Great idea Ev!
These definitely do look phenomenally amazing! I love any sweet and salty combination, so I'm pretty sure I would go crazy for these!
I love your line of thinking...really really love it. I totally get it. =) A keeper cookie recipe for sure.
I love sweet and salty! These look fantastic.
I love cookies.
I love potato chips.
....you put them together.
Now, I love you.
Haha you are too cute! I like that logic a ton! I have to admit that I love to have peanut butter and potato chips together too. I used to put the ruffle ones right on my sandwich as a kid haha. I have a feeling that these cookies would be right up my alley. They look awesome!
Perfect!! I love sweet & salty together. I can't wait to try them!
Ah, this is like hitting below the belt. If you come to my house you'll see many different kinds of chips, but no potato chips. That's because I'll finish the bag before anyone else has a chance to have even one. Putting them in a cookie is just downright mean. And addictive. And genius.
I love that you used potato chips in these! The sweet and salty combo must taste incredible! Super fun idea. Thanks for sharing!
I love your train of thought. I also love the sweet and salty combination together so I bet these taste amazing.
Salty and sweet were meant to be.
Potato chips in cookies? serious!? that was my first reaction. I'm so tempted to try these!
I definitely can see these being really good. I love that sweet and salty combo. so it makes perfect sense to me. Love it!
I believe you! I love the combi of sweet and salty and I'm also one who eats my french fries with vanilla ice cream. This, I gotta make!
These cookies sound amazing!! I love chocolate covered potato chips, so would definitely love these cookies. Will def be trying :-)
In college, I used to love dipping my potatoe chips in peanut butter , then chocolate soft serve. So yeah, I'll be pushing the crushed chips to 1/2 cup (maybe more).
I've heard of this before and have heard that it's really good. I am going to have to try these. I just love that salty, sweet combo!
That looks great.
Such a great idea! I have a feeling I would LOVE these!!! You need to market them :)

Brilliant! I love this idea. If fulfills all my junk food needs in one go. ;)
Oh that's genius!! Bookmarked! Can't wait to try these!
your equation makes a lot of sense. No one I know resist either potato chips nor peanut butter and chocolate so these cookies might WOW them. Gotta try them. Thanks for sharing Evan! Hope you're having a wonderful weekend
This is genius. Who would've thought? I've never had a chocolate covered potato chip but now I really want to!
