They don’t TASTE potato-y, they just have a unique texture! The finely crushed potato chips give them a light consistency with a hint of salty bits. They don’t taste like actual potato chips, they taste like cookies, with a little something special. They’re crunchy and soft all at the same time. They’re buttery and rich…salty and sweet. And I DEFINITELY recommend a healthy sprinkle of powdered sugar. And to all you purists, yes I know these are a typical “shortbread”, but the taste and texture mimics all the things I love best about shortbread. And I thought, why not name something what it actually tastes like? Crazy, I know. The dough is actually super simple to make with no chill-time necessary!
How to Make The Best Homemade Shortbread Cookies
Start by finely crushing up potato chips. I used Lays Classic. My kiddo calls these a “last resort” chip. Ha! I have to agree.
We don’t skimp on butter here. These cookies, while unassuming in appearance, are pretty heavy hitters.
I used a medium cookie scoop and baked them on a parchment lined baking sheet…
They really do bake up like a dream…
And like I said, a healthy dose of powdered sugar is a must.
Let them cool if you have restraint. I clearly don’t.
And quickly one cookie turns to two…then three…then… Suddenly you’re staring at one lone cookie on the cookie sheet.
These cookies freeze beautifully as well. No one will ever know there are potato chips involved here. I mean, unless you tell them. obviously. Enjoy!
