Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter with both the light brown and white sugars on medium speed until pale and creamy.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture and continue beating until fully emulsified, scraping the sides of the bowl.
Slowly incorporate the self-rising flour on low speed just until the white streaks disappear, being careful not to overwork the dough.
By hand or on the lowest mixer setting, gently fold in the chocolate chips and crushed wavy potato chips until evenly distributed.
Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least one hour to ensure proper hydration and prevent excessive spreading.
Preheat the oven to 350°F and scoop the dough onto lined baking sheets, baking for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are light golden brown.

Notes

For the most consistent texture, aim for bite-sized chip fragments rather than a fine dust when crushing your potato chips. To achieve the perfect professional finish, allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for five minutes after removal from the oven to let the centers set completely.
