Delicious shortbread cookies loaded with mini chocolate chips, walnuts & salty potato chips make these Buttery Walnut Potato Chip Cookies the BEST EVER!
It’s cookie baking season! I’m so excited to be jumping on board with 49 other bloggers to bring Taste the USA: Idaho Edition. All 50 of us are bringing you cookies inspired by the state where we live. Because I live in Idaho, I of course had to incorporate what Idaho is known for, the potato into these Buttery Walnut Potato Chip Cookies. Funny enough, I think I heard that Oregon & Washington actually produce more potatoes than Idaho. Also, the potatoes are grown in the southern part of the state, about 6 hours from where I’m at. But none the less, Idaho is known for potatoes & that’s really cool because I love adding them to a variety of recipes- including cookies like these.
Buttery Walnut Potato Chip Cookies
I just love making goodies this time of year, especially when I can bring back those favorite flavors of childhood & then add an awesome twist like adding potato chips. As with all my baking, I use Bob’s Red Mill Organic Unbleached All Purpose Flour because I like that it’s not enriched with any additives. That’s really important to me when baking for my family or for others. It produces well-textured loaves just as easy as it creates light & airy baked goods. Versatility is awesome. (Be sure to grab this coupon to pick up your own Bob’s Red Mill!)
These are super easy, just like a classic shortbread cookie, the butter & sugar are heavy, no eggs – just flour & your mix ins. For these it’s mini chocolate chips, walnuts & deliciously salty potato chips. Be sure to buy thicker chips so that they hold up in the mixing process.
Just because I grew up in California doesn’t mean I can’t fully embrace this amazing place I live now. We sure love Idaho & all of its beauty. So of course, I had to make a cookie with chips made from Idaho potatoes.
Buttery Walnut Potato Chip Cookies
Buttery Walnut Potato Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup 2 sticks butter- softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1-3/4 cups Bob's Red Mill Organic Unbleached All Purpose White Flour
- 1 cup crushed potato chips
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- In mixer bowl, combine butter & sugar & beat until light & fluffy
- Mix in vanilla followed by flour & beat until mixed well & creamy
- Fold in chocolate chips, walnuts & potato chips
- Take tablespoon size portions & lightly roll into a ball & place on ungreased cookie sheet
- Bake 14-16 minutes or until golden brown on the bottoms (because it's shortbread, they will still look soft on top- they will set as they cool)
- Allow to cool on pan for several minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely
Just look at that. The salty & sweet come together & satisfy every craving all in one bite. YUM!
