Ultimate Potato Chip Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

225g unsalted butter

200 g granulated sugar 

150g dark brown sugar 

2 large eggs 

1 egg yolk

2 tsp vanilla

330g all purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt 

300-350g dark chocolate chunks or chips

Optional: salted potato chips (lays) to crunch on top 

Method:

-oven 375f (190c) convection setting 

-(take the butter out the fridge 5 mins prior to starting and cut into cubes to bring to room temperature)

-combine flour, baking soda, salt in a bowl - set aside

-in stand mixer, cream together butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy - 3ish mins

-add the eggs one at a time + the yolk beating well after each addition 

-incorporate the flour mixture in 3 additions- do not over mix

-stir in the chocolate chunks/chips in with a spatula 

-use a cookie scoop or two spoons to drop cookie balls onto a prepared baking sheet (with parchment). 

-Transfer to freezer for 15 mins - this tip stops them from spreading too much.

-remove from freezer

-Crunch a decent amount of salted potato chips and slightly press them into the cookies (do not flatten the dough ball) 

-bake for 9-12 mins - you want them golden and set but slightly under in the middle so they stay chewy

-remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool after 2 min

-sprinkle sea salt flakes on top- this should be done for every chocolate chip cookie in my mind - it brings a plain chocolate chip cookie to the next level. 

-Enjoy immediately. 🍪✨

-the potato chip cookies should be eaten fresh or within a day as the chips tend to go soft after two days.
