These simple white chocolate chip potato chip cookies are savory with just a hint of sweetness.

Inspiration for this recipe

I’ve been making my potato chip clusters with white chocolate for years, and they’ve always been a favorite among friends and family. When I found a vintage, handwritten potato chip cookie recipe in my grandmother’s recipe box, I wondered what would happen if I fused her original recipe with the flavors from my potato chip clusters. The result was a bit more savory than my clusters recipe, but with the perfect hint of sweetness from the white chocolate.

How to make white chocolate potato chip cookies

Start by pouring some Wavy Lays potato chips into a gallon Ziploc bag. Crush the chips with a rolling pin until you have 2 cups, or 160 grams, of crushed potato chips.

Pour the crushed potato chips in a large mixing bowl.

Next, pour some walnuts into the ziploc bag you used to crush the chips. Crush the walnuts with a rolling pin until you have 1 cup, or 150 grams, of crushed walnuts.

Pour your crushed walnuts into the bowl with your crushed potato chips. Stir to combine.

Add the following to your potato chip and walnut mixture: 1 cup (200g) lard, 2 1/2 cups (310g) all purpose flour, 1 cup packed (230g) dark brown sugar, 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, 2 eggs, 1 tsp (6g) salt, 1 tsp (3g) baking soda, 1 tsp (4g) pure vanilla extract, and 1 cup (215g) Ghirardelli white chocolate chips.

Knead the dough with your hands until it forms a cookie dough consistency.

Roll the dough into small round balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. These OXO cookie sheets are the best ones I’ve ever owned.

Bake your potato chip cookies at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
