Recipe again

Potato Chip Cookies

Hands-on time: 15 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes
makes 2 1/2 dozen

1 c unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 c granulated sugar, plus 1/2 c more for coating
1 t pure vanilla extract
2 c all-purpose flour
1/2 t cinnamon
3/4 c potato chips, crushed
1/2 c pecans, chopped

Heat oven to 375. Cream the butter and 1/2 c sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed. Lower to medium speed and add the vanilla. Add the flour and cinnamon to the butter mixture. Beat on low speed until incorporated. Fold in the potato chips and pecans. Form into approximately 1 1/2-inch balls. Dredge in the remaining sugar. Place on parchment- or foil-lined baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake until golden brown around the edges, about 13 minutes. Let cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks.
(Believe it or not, these are delicious. You can taste the hint of potato if you look for it, but people would never guess there were potato chips in there without knowing it!)
