Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line several baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well. *For the best texture, stir the flour in the bag, then use a spoon to scoop it into the measuring cups, and level each cup.
In a separate bowl, combine the softened butter and sugar. Use an electric mixer to beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula.
Add the vanilla and eggs to the butter mixture. Beat until smooth. Now turn the mixer on low and slowly add the flour mixture. Once it's fully combined, turn off the mixer to prevent overmixing the dough. Scrape the bowl again.
Crush potato chips, either with your hands, or by placing them in a bag and smashing them with a rolling pin. Measure out 2 cups of crushed potato chips.
Add the crushed potato chips and the chocolate chips to the mixing bowl. Use a spatula to mix the ingredients in by hand, until evenly dispersed.
Use a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion out the cookie dough. Place the dough balls 2 ½ inches apart on the baking sheets to allow for spreading.
Bake the cookies for 10- 12 minutes until the edges are golden and the center is puffed. Then allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheets before moving.

Notes

- Storing Leftovers - Store the cookies in an airtight container and keep on the counter for up to a week. But note that the potato chips will soften the longer they are stored.

- Freezing - Layer the cookies in a freezer-safe container or plastic ziploc bag, with a piece of parchment paper placed between each layer. Freeze for up to 3 months. Then set them on the counter at room temperature for an hour or so, allowing them to soften before enjoying.
