Potato Chip Crunchies

This year while coming up with a game plan for the Farmers Market I tried to come up with new and unusual recipes to sell. Going through a Taste of Home cookbook, I found a recipe for Potato Chip Cookies. They turned out to be a big hit. They taste like a shortbread cookie with a hint of potato chips and pecans.

Ingredients

2 cups of butter, softened

1 1/2 cups of sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 cups all purpose flour

1 cup crushed potato chips

1 cup chopped pecans

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually add flour and mix well. Fold in the potato chips and pecans.

Drop by tablespoonfuls 1 1/2 inches apart onto an ungreased baking sheet. Flatten with a fork. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: 8 dozen
