Potato Chip Walnut Cookies

Although I have not shared a cookie recipe in a while, I have still been making some of my family’s favorites such as matcha green tea sugar cookies. One of my coworkers gave me this potato chip walnut cookies recipe. I was intrigued with the use of potato chips in cookies so I ended up making these cookies over the weekend. The original recipe uses cashew but I ended up using walnuts instead because I had it in my pantry. After baking the cookies in the oven for 14 minutes, the cookies came out crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The potato chips and nuts gave the cookies a nice crunchy taste and texture. I was able to bring some of these cookies to work to share with my co-workers. The rest of the cookies were devoured by my husband who is a big fan of these cookies.
