Potato Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened

½ cup sugar

1 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 cups coarsely crushed potato chips.

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 325°. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. 

Beat the butter and sugar until fluffy.  Beat in the vanilla, flour and 1 cup of potato chips, mix well.

Shape the dough into 1-inch balls; roll them in the remaining chips. Place on cookie sheets 2½ inches apart, and press a bit to flatten.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned.  Let cool on pans for 5 minutes. Transfer to racks to cool completely.
