I ended up with an unexpected day off work today due to other people needing my office. Amongst a bunch of other things I decided to do some baking. Most of my baking over the past while has always been for a reason - birthdays, visitors, parties, bake club etc, but today I decided to bake just because. Which of course could be bad, as if I don't manage to give the baking to other people very quickly I'll probably end up eating it all myself!
I'd had found this recipe for Potato Chip Cookies a while ago and was very intrigued by it. Then a friend mentioned the Momofuku Compost Cookies which reminded me of the Everything Chocolate Bar that the lovely Agnes from Wellington's Milk Crate - so I tweaked the Potato Chip Cookie Recipe and made my own Everything Cookie. If I say so myself, they're pretty good - but its hard to beat a cookie straight out of the oven, what even the flavor!
Everything Cookies
1/2C Brown Sugar
1/2C White Sugar
125gms Butter
1 Egg
1tsp Vanilla
1C Flour
1/4tsp Salt
1/2tsp Baking Soda
1C Rolled Oats
1C Crushed Potato Chips
1/2C Chopped Pecans
1/2C Chocolate Chips (I used Whittaker's Dark Ghana & chopped it up)
Preheat oven to 180'C
Cream butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla, mix well.
Add flour, salt and baking soda. Mix until just combined. Stir in oats, potato chips, pecans and chocolate chips.
Roll dough into balls (about 3cm in diameter) and place spaced apart on a lightly greased baking tray. Makes about 24.
Bake for 12-14mins, rotating the baking tray half way through.
Let cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Note: I used Ready Salted Potato Chips - not sure what other flavors would be like!
Would love to hear what you think of these cookies if you give them ago :)
