This cookie recipe is from our Mom. She makes it for all the grandkids. My kids love this recipe and Mom recently sent the recipe to my 11 year old son who loves to bake.
The texture is crunchy and sandy with a nice salty crunch from the chips and pretzels.
So yummy!
Ingredients:
1 cup softened butter salted
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup coarsely crushed potato chips
3/4 cup coarsely crushed pretzels
Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips, melted (for dipping) You can also use white chocolate if preferred.
A little kosher salt or sea salt for sprinkling over the melted chocolate.
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cover sheet pan with parchment paper. Combine softened butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl and beat with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg yolk and vanilla and beat until incorporated. Gradually add flour and mix well. Stir in crushed chips and pretzels and mix until fully combined.
Shape cookies into oval logs and flatten slightly. Bake for 14-18 minutes until lightly browned. Cool completely in baking sheet. Dip one end of cooled cookie into melted chocolate and place onto parchment paper. Sprinkle a little coarse salt onto the melted chocolate if desired. Leave cookies out at room temperature or place in refrigerator to harden the chocolate.
