Grandma Florence’s Potato Chip Cookies
Submitted by: Sara Levine Rosenblum

The story behind the recipe:
These are an all-time favorite Grandma Florence cookie, one that holiday guests and camp bunkmates requested time and time again. Years later, in my corporate life, these salty-sweet cookies won an office bake-off at Food Network! The crushed potato chips add a subtle salty crunch that is addictive.
Ingredients:
- Ingredients:
- 1 pound margarine or butter*
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup finely crushed potato chips
- Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
*Although margarine was a staple in my grandmother’s kitchen (sign of the times!), I (Sara) always use butter!
How to make it:
Cream margarine or butter and sugar. Add vanilla. Mix in flour. Blend in crushed potato chips. Mix well with spoon (or mixer). Take a piece of dough (size of a walnut), roll in your hands until smooth and flatten on lightly greased cookie sheet with your fingers (or you can drop the piece of dough and flatten with a fork). I prefer first method. They spread so don’t make them too big. (Move each a little with a spatula after taking the cookie sheet from the oven so they don’t stick). Bake at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes. Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar when cooled.
It's easier than ever to tell beatiful food stories.
