A hybrid dessert, this Chocolate Chip Potato Chip Cookie recipe brings the best of both worlds.
Developed by food writer Adeena Sussman, this cookie hybrid fuses potato chips with the traditional chocolate chip cookie. While making a simple batch of chocolate chip cookies, Sussman added kettle-style potato chips for a snack worth writing about. Sussman has stated her choice of kettle-style chips is due to the thick and deep crunch kettle chips provide. It has also been reported that lighter chips -- such as regular ones -- do not hold up to the buttery cookie dough.
Included in her most recent cookbook -- Fried and True: More Than 50 Recipes for America’s Best Fried Chicken and Sides'-- the Chocolate Chip Potato Chip Cookie recipe makes the perfect batch of "salty, sweet, chocolaty and utterly satisfying" cookies.
