Potato Chip Cookies

The ultimate comfort food: a bag of salty potato chips combined with butterscotch cookies…you’d think there’s no way you could go wrong. I have made cookies a million times before and never had trouble like I did with this baking experience. I went through three batches and an extra trip to the grocery store before they turned out. The first two batches came out flat and looking like peanut brittle, only not as yummy.
