Potato Chip Cookies

Ingredients

• • 3 quarters of a cup unsalted butter
• • 3 quarters of a cup granulated sugar
• • 1 large egg yolk
• • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• • 1 and a half cups all-purpose flour, sifted before measuring
• • 3 quarters of a cup crushed potato chips (such as Lay's)
• • 1 half a cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
2. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, then continue mixing until fully combined.
3. Gradually incorporate the sifted all-purpose flour and mix until a dough begins to form.
4. Carefully fold the crushed potato chips and chopped nuts into the dough until evenly distributed.
5. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.
6. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
7. Remove the dough from the refrigerator, and roll it into walnut-sized balls.
8. Arrange the balls on an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing them about 2.5 inches apart.
9. Using a fork, press down on each ball to flatten slightly, turning the fork 90 degrees to create a grid pattern.
10. Bake the cookie sheet in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
11. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
