Potato Chip Shortbread Cookies

Carla Kelly shared this recipe on Wendy William's show the other day.  Because I am panicky about it disappearing, I'm recording it here!

Potato Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/4 cup crushed potato chips
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cup all-purpose flour
Confection sugar for dusting
1 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 deg

Direction:
With a hand mixer, cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Reduce speed to low and add 3/4 C of the potato chips and mix until incorporated. Add the vanilla and mix until thoroughly combined. Add the flour and mix until just combined – do not overmix the dough

Use a spoon to scoop small 1-inch balls of dough onto a lightly greased sheet pan, spacing them at least 2 inches apart. Dust each of the cookies with a bit of confectioner sugar, and press flat

Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown, and cool.

Heat the chocolate chips in the microwave or a double boiler until melted, stirring often. Dip each of the cookies in melted chocolate. While the chocolate is still soft, roll the cookies in the remaining crushed potato chips. Allow to set before serving

NOTE: You can mix it up and use pretzels, tortilla chips etc. It’s a spin on the traditional black & white cookie
