Sweet and Salty Chocolate Chip Cookies

Sweet and Salty Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt (optional since the potato chips and pretzels might already make them salty enough)
• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 34 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 cups rippled potato chips, coarsely broken
• 1 cup small pretzel twists, broken into 1/2-inch pieces
• 1/2 cup unsalted peanuts (optional)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375F degrees. Set aside ungreased cookie sheets, or line sheets with parchment or silicone liners.

In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda and salt (is using).

In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium-low speed, beat butter, white and brown sugars, and vanilla until creamy.

Add eggs, one at a time, blending well after each addition.

Gradually beat in dry flour mixture until well mixed.

Stir in chocolate chips, potato chips, pretzel pieces, and peanuts (if using) with a large wooden spoon.

Using rounded tablespoons of dough, drop onto prepared sheets at least two inches apart.

Bake 9 to 11 minutes, or until edges are golden.

Remove from oven and allow cookies to sit on sheets for two minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

This recipe makes about 5 dozen Sweet and Salty Chocolate Chip Cookies.
