Potato chips, dark chocolate and cookie seems like an unlikely trio, but if you love both sweet and savoury snacks – this is THE recipe for you. It’s like a platter party in your mouth. The best thing is: it’s super easy to make. You don’t even need a mixer! Just a few bowls and a spoon is all you need.
As much as I love baking, I would always choose something savoury over sweet treats. Potato chips are my go-to. Call me basic, but ready salted is my favourite flavour! I like tasting the potato flavour in my chips, without the overwhelming flavouring.
This cookie has got that sweet/salty balance, and the potato chips give it a perfect crunch that pairs with the soft cookie.
