Chocolate Covered Potato Chip Cookies

I know you might be thinking I’m crazy right about now…

But I just had to give it a whirl!

The sweetness of my grandmother’s famous chocolate chip cookies were calling my name. But I needed to get my salty fix too. What is a girl to do?

BAKE! (Then again, baking is my answer to a lot of things!)

I wanted to get creative and combine two of my favorites – chocolate covered potato chips and my grandmother’s chocolate chip cookies.

Why mess with a good thing you say?!? Why not just make the recipe as it was intended?

Because I love to try new things! I want to experiment and have fun in my kitchen!

So I say to you… WHY NOT!?!

P.S. Does it count as a whole cookie if it broke when I moved it from the cooling rack and I ate a section here and a section there and then… well yeah, maybe that was a whole a cookie after all.

Enjoy! (As many as you want to believe you enjoyed. Sometimes it is just best to lose count!)
