Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Step 2.
Using an electric mixer, beat butter, vanilla, salt and ½ cup sugar in a large bowl on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low and mix in flour until just incorporated. Stir in chopped pecans and crushed potato chips.
-
Step 3.
Place remaining ¼ cup sugar in a small bowl. Roll level tablespoonfuls of dough into balls, then roll each ball in the sugar to coat. Place balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. With a flat-bottomed measuring cup or glass, press each ball into a ¼-inch-thick disk.
-
Step 4.
Bake until lightly golden brown, 16 to 18 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
