Potato Chip Cookies

For Evonik's Cookie Day this year, I decided to make Potato Chip Cookies. I'd first tried them at a cookie exchange at the Tidewater, and loved them, but never thought to make them until now. After searching the Internet, I decided on Paula Deen's recipe:

Potato Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

• 2 cups (4 sticks) softened butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 ¼ cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 ½ cups coarsely crushed potato chips
• ¼ cup confectioner's sugar

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 300°.
2. In a large mixing bowl cream butter and sugar. Slowly blend in flour and vanilla. Add crushed potato chips and mix well. Drop by rounded teaspoon, 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Using a fork, flatten each cookie slightly. Bake 18-20 minutes, or until light brown around the edges. Remove to wire rack to cool. Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.
3. Notes From the Paula Deen Test Kitchen: When using a fork to press cookies on baking sheet, dip the fork in flour first and the batter will not stick to the fork. These cookies were sinfully delicious and disappeared as fast as we could bake them.

I really liked them, Tom didn't. He said he would probably like them better if he didn't know that there were potato chips in them. People at work said they liked them, and I brought a container to the Tidewater that evening, and they liked them, too. What does Tom know, anyway?
