Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups potato chips, crushed but not pulverized
  • 1 cup pretzel pieces, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk)
  • Optional: Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low just until combined.
  6. Gently fold in crushed potato chips, chopped pretzel pieces, and chocolate chips with a spatula.
  7. Use an ice cream scoop or tablespoon to drop dough balls (about 2 tbsp each) onto baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Flatten gently for crispier cookies.
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes, rotating sheets halfway, until cookies are golden at the edges and set in the middle.
  9. Let cookies sit on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
  10. Optional: Sprinkle with flaky sea salt while warm. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container.

Notes

For gluten-free, use a 1:1 GF flour blend and gluten-free pretzels/chips. Chill dough for 20 minutes if cookies spread too much. Leave chips and pretzels chunky for best texture. Cookies are best served fresh and slightly warm. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
