These cookies came to be from me finding a childhood recipe for Potato chip cookies that I loved. I sat down to make them one afternoon and sifted the flour when the recipe did not call for it to be sifted. Needless to say the dough was like sand. I attempted to make the first batch by forming cookies out of this sand like dough but they didn't do anything in the oven. I decided to improvise. I added 1 1/2 sticks of softened butter to make the dough wet enough to roll cookies. I also added more potato chips and almonds. OMG is all I'm sayin! Oh and BUTTERY! Recipe and pictures are my own.

How To Make i can't believe i sifted the flour buttery potato chip cookies

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease cookie sheet or line with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cream together butter and sugar, then vanilla.
Step 3

Alternate adding in potato chips and flour.
Step 4

Stir in almonds last.
Step 5

Pinch off dough and form balls. They don't have to be rolled, just squish them between your fingers or hands to form.

Bake for 15-20 minutes. They will not look done or turn brown accept for around the edges slightly. This is normal.

Let cool for 5 minutes then drizzle with icing while still warm.

***Icing*** Combine all ingredients in small bowl. Stir until smooth and well blended. Adjust for consistency if necessary adding more milk or powder sugar.
