This is what you do with leftover crushed potato chips, people. Blueberry, Chocolate, Potato Chip Cookies. I had roughly a cupful after making potato chip schnitzel. Yes, you read that correctly: potato chip schnitzel. Why use bread crumbs in a recipe when you can use crushed potato chips?

But I digress. I was in the process of throwing out the leftover potato chip dust when this idea came to me. Why not use them in chocolate chip cookies?

Not an original thought, I admit. There are a lot of cookie recipes out there with potato chips as an ingredient, so I almost passed. Then I spied a package of organic dried blueberries practically waving at me from my kitchen cabinet (Hello! I’m over here!). So Blueberry, Chocolate, Potato Chip Cookies it is.

Creating a chocolate chip cookie recipe with crushed potato chips and blueberry flavor suddenly made sense.
What turned out to be a pantry cleaner morphed into one of the tastiest chocolate chip cookie recipes I’ve ever made. I was a little hesitant at first to use the entire cup of crushed potato chips, thinking they might make the cookies too salty. Not so. After tasting the batter, I added a bit of salt to it anyway. I am a salty girl. In more ways than one.

The result was fantastic. These are SO good. One warning: the addition of potato chips to these cookies not only adds flavor, but the universal potato chip rule applies: You can’t have just one.

Yay, crushed potato chips! I will never look at another bag of them the same again.
