On the rare occasion we got a bag of potato chips as a kid, we always had to get plain because gramma would use the crumbs to make potato chip cookies.\u00a0 Or she would sprinkle them on top of a tuna noodle casserole.\u00a0 I liked the cookies better.\u00a0 Ha!\u00a0 Yes, yes, I know this post is late.\u00a0 But you know me by now so I know you forgive me.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’m still in the habit of buying butter when it’s on sale whether I need it or not.\u00a0 I can always store it in the freezer and use it when butter prices are high.\u00a0 Aaahhh, the habits I picked up from gramma.\u00a0 Or maybe I’m just cheap.\u00a0 Anywho, what I love about these cookies is that they aren’t sweet like a traditional cookie and it has a sandy crispy texture that you don’t find in many recipes.\u00a0 But I just love it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The recipe comes together with scant few ingredients, doesn’t require fancy accoutrements, and doesn’t need to be chilled.\u00a0 I drop them onto the sheet with a spoon and flatten them with my hand ever so slightly….slight of hand…get it?\u00a0 (nyuck nyuck wheeee)\u00a0 Corny jokes folks…that’s my jam.\u00a0 Speaking of jam, you could make these thinner and sandwich jam inbetween them.\u00a0 Or you could dip one end in chocolate.\u00a0 Or both!\u00a0 The world is your cookie!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The recipe does use a lot of butter.\u00a0 That was gramma….lots of butter.\u00a0 But these cookies should cost about five dollars a batch or less.\u00a0 We rarely spend more than two dollars on a bag of chips because I get the off brands.\u00a0 For me it’s the principle in regards to chips….I refuse to spend a five dollar bill on a junk food item.\u00a0 I find it almost offensive.\u00a0 The things I could do with a five dollar bill as a single mom at the grocery store…..chips was not one of them.<\/p>\n
