Ingredients
  

  • 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp salt if using unsalted butter
  • 140 gms butter, at room temp
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup caster sugar
  • 1 egg (see notes)
  • 1 tsps vanilla extract
  • 1 cup crushed salted potato chips, plus more to sprinkle on top (I prefer the thin potato wafers)
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips, plus more to sprinkle on top

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 175 C. Lightly grease a square 8" baking pan, then line it with baking paper, leaving a little overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper as well. Set aside.
  • Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt, if using. Set aside.
  • Using a hand mixer, beat the butter and sugars in a mixing bowl until pale and fluffy.
  • Add the egg and vanilla and beat again till combined.
  • Now fold in the flour mixture, until just combined. Do not over-mix.
  • Finally, mix in the chocolate chips and potato chips. You will have a thick, sticky cookie dough.
  • Tip the dough into the prepared tin and bake for 20 minutes, rotating it halfway through baking.
  • Allow to cool completely (it will darken and firm up as it cools) then chill for an hour before slicing into bars. They should keep for about a week at room temperature, though the potato chips will soften so I recommend storing them in the fridge after day one, for 10 days. Happy eating!

Notes

*Try this eggless cookie dough with potato chips if you prefer!
