- 4 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 original Ruffles potato chips
Prepare
- 1 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 large egg white, at room temperature
- 1 bittersweet chocolate chips, cold smoked
- 8 oz bacon, cooked crispy, drained, and chopped
Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Step 2.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda; set aside.
-
Step 3.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
-
Step 4.
Add the eggs and egg white one at a time, scraping down the bowl after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
-
Step 5.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture, mixing just until incorporated—do not overmix.
-
Step 6.
Add the cold-smoked chocolate chips and chopped bacon, and mix on low for 3 or 4 turns until just distributed.
-
Step 7.
Add the Ruffles potato chips and let the mixer turn just once or twice so the chips are lightly folded in without breaking too much.
-
Step 8.
Using a 3-ounce scoop (about 1/3 cup), scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, placing 6 cookies per sheet and gently pressing each down to flatten slightly. The cookies will spread during baking, so space them evenly.
-
Step 9.
Bake until the cookies are golden brown around the edges, 14 to 16 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through baking.
-
Step 10.
Using a spatula, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
