I remember one Christmas, a friend of my cousin brought chocolate covered potato chips to a holiday gathering. We all gave it a sideways glance but because there was chocolate, how bad could it be? One bite transformed us all. That was it. It was likely we were going to be body slamming each other for the last one and that’s when I remembered a friend made these in cookie form but I’d passed on them because I hadn’t expanded my horizons yet. Consider that wrong officially righted.
Inside these delicious shortbread like cookies are crushed potato chips and when you combine that salty crunch with the luscious dark chocolate, your mind will be blown. These satisfy that snacking itch we all have and who says you have to settle for salty OR sweet. It’s the holiday season, you put on your eatin’ pants and go for broke! I usually top half with some salt flakes to accentuate that chocolate goodness and then the other half I’ll do seasonal sprinkles.
The video shows you how to bring it all together and what the recipe should look like in different stages.

Potato Chip Cookies with Chocolate Drizzle
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup potato chips, crushed (measure after crushing)
- 1/2 cup pecans, ground
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- Sea salt for sprinkling
- Sprinkles (if making for the holidays)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cream butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until fluffy then add vanilla and stir to combine.
- Add flour, crush potato chips, and pecans and stir until just combined.
- Scoop onto a lined cookie sheet 2" apart and bake for 13-15 minutes until edges are just golden brown.
- Cool on a wire rack.
- Melt chocolate in microwave in 15 second increments, stirring each time until melted. Use fork to drizzle or put it in a sandwich bag and cut the corner to pipe on as I did in the video.
- Sprinkle sea salt and/or sprinkle on top while chocolate is wet and let set. (7-10 minutes in the fridge will set them quicker)

These are right up my alley and after watching the video I think I could actually make them. Thanks for sharing!
I bet you’ll love them as much as I do!
I love quirky cookies: I hope that doesn’t offend the cookies! Shh, we won’t tell them.
My grandma used to make mashed potato cookies. Not sure if there were mashed potatoes in them or they just looked like them. As you can tell, I paid attention to the details when I was a child.
One more cookie to add to the menu……thanks a lot. 🙂
The cookies say they prefer quirky so you’re good. I remember potato candy or something like that and I refused to eat it as a kid because I was picky like that but now, anything is obviously fair game!
I saw someone post a similar recipe on facebook recently, and now I’m dying to try it. I love potato chips and who doesn’t love chocolate? Thanks so much for sharing! I’ll be trying it soon. 🙂
