Baking Cookies

My sewing machine is so lonely.  I've been busy getting ready for the holidays. So much to do!  I'll have time to quilt again soon, but my family likes their cookies!


These cookies are amazing!  Potato chips and cookies at the same time...does it get any better than that?  Warning-this recipe calls for a large small amount of butter and the cookies are addictive, as well as lots of fun!  Let me know if you give them a try.  I loved Carrie's post on Christmas Cookie Rules.  You may want to read them!

  1. Your directions have "dots" cancelling out the font for some reason.

  3. Ok, I have to try these for no other reason than my curiosity is getting the best of me. Potato chips in cookies? Does it get any better than that? Have you ever added chocolate chips to it? I wonder how it would turn out.
