A few years ago at Christmas, someone made potato chips that were dipped first in caramel and then in chocolate. I found them in Erica’s kitchen and proceeded to stand there and eat several of them before getting myself under control. Though I never asked for the recipe (too dangerous), the memory of those potato chips stayed with me.
As I was contemplating making cookies for a bake sale today, the memory of those potato chips came to mind. I had recently read a recipe for potato chip cookies, and it had lingered in my head. I took my standard chocolate chip cookie recipe and added chopped up Kraft caramels and crushed Cape Cod Potato chips. Amaya helped crush the chips, mix up the dough, and taste test the cookies. They have to cool completely to reach their pinnacle; otherwise, the caramel sticks to the parchment paper. Once cooled, they peel off easily, and I have to say that it’s quite possible a new standard was born.
