Grandma's potato chip cookies

I didn't come up with this one, but it's probably the best recipe in our family.

Ingredients

1 cup of butter or margarine (2 sticks)
1.75 cups of flour
1 cup of crushed potato chips
0.5 cups of sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Tools

Large bowl
Cookie sheet
Fork
Oven
Rack
Spoon
Wooden spoon

Procedure

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the potato chips (we usually use Lay's) in a Ziploc bag and pound them with something until they're ground into pebble-sized pieces. A wooden meat mallet works well. Continue until you have a cup of chip fragments.

Beat the butter until soft, then add the sugar and vanilla and beat until fluffy. Gradually add the flour and chips and mix until well-blended. Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the sheet, ungreased, about 2" apart. Gently press down on the little dough balls with a fork dipped in sugar. Bake them for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned on the bottom, then put them on the rack to cool.

This yields 36 delicious cookies.
