Legend has it, if the base dough of a drop cookie can handle chocolate chips, then it can handle potato chips. The flaky, crisp texture of the potato chips adds a delightful bit of texture, and the salty component kicks more of your flavor receptors into gear. Add a dose of crushed chips to any drop cookie recipe that calls for mix-ins, like nuts, dried fruits, or chocolate chips. This is, however, one of the cases I’d recommend you stick to the classic chip, and avoid that sour cream and onion bag.
