Looking for a cookie that’s the perfect balance of sweet and salty? These potato chip cookies might just be your new favorite treat! They take the classic chocolate chip cookie to the next level with the addition of crushed potato chips, adding a delightful crunch and a hint of saltiness to every bite. If you’re a fan of combining unexpected flavors, these cookies are sure to surprise and satisfy your taste buds.

The inspiration for this recipe came from a common problem in our house: snack fatigue. My husband loves to snack, but he often gets bored of the same flavors and ends up leaving half-eaten bags of chips behind. Rather than let them go to waste, I decided to put those leftover chips to good use. What better way to elevate an already amazing snack like chocolate chip cookies than by adding the salty, crispy goodness of potato chips?

Not only do these cookies help reduce waste, but they also deliver a unique flavor and texture that make them stand out from the usual cookie lineup. They’re perfect for those who love a sweet-and-savory combo, and they’re a great way to use up any odds and ends in your pantry. Whether you’re making them for yourself, your family, or a gathering, these potato chip cookies are guaranteed to be a conversation starter—and a delicious one at that!
