When I have a few free minutes – yes, that’s said somewhat sarcastically as I always have a self-imposed to-do list that’s a few miles long – I head to the kitchen to create something.  Last week, with the holiday and two cold days, the girls’ only had two days of school so I was able to spend my new found extra time in the week tackling a few ideas I’d been wanting to try.  These Dark Chocolate Covered Potato Chip Cookies were the first on my list.

For Christmas, Andy’s mom had put a package of dark chocolate covered potato chips into our stockings.  They were the perfect blend of sweet and salty and we enjoyed them while playing a board game over our holiday break.  And of course, I hid a few of the packages away for a rainy day so that I could include them in a recipe.  And really, what better treat to make on a cold, Winter day when you’re stuck inside than cookies!

This recipe makes three dozen cookies and I must say that they lasted less than 24 hours in our house and another batch was quickly made to replace them.  Grab a frosty glass of milk and say cheers to comforting cookies.  These Dark Chocolate Covered Potato Chip Cookies are what you want to fill your cookie jar.

    I love chocolate dipped potato chips, what a great idea to turn them into a cookie! Those bacon peanut butter chocolate chip cookies look amazing as well. I usually bake with butter, not shortening, but I may have to try these.
