The search for the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe has been a long and difficult one. I have made many, tasted tons, and liked a few. But none were exactly what I was looking for. Finally, after merging a few recipes and ingredients and testing them out, I came up with exactly what I wanted in a chocolate chip cookie! These are gooey and soft {I’m not a fan of crunchy and thin} and sweet and salty. The candied bacon was an experiment gone very very RIGHT! I wasn’t sure how I would like the bacon-chocolate combo but in this cookie, they are a match made in heaven! Give them a try, I promise you’ll thank me! 
 
*Not a fan of bacon in sweets? Don’t use it and you’ve still got one heck of a delicious soft chocolate chip cookie!

Notes

Candied Bacon recipe from The Girl Who Ate Everything.

Candied Bacon is seriously addicting y’all! 
Preheat oven to 350. Cover a baking sheet in aluminum foil and lay
 8 slice of thick cut bacon in rows on the aluminum.
Cover with brown sugar. 
Bake for 10 minutes, then flip slices of bacon and bake for another 10 minutes. 
I made the mistake at first of putting on a paper towel to drain. Wrong! Sticky bacon sticks to the paper, silly! Lay your bacon on a plate to cool. 
Once cooled, dice candied bacon {try not to sneak too many pieces}. 
Now time for the cookies…..
Turn oven down to 325 degrees.
Cream softened butter and brown and white sugar in a mixing bowl until smooth. 
Sift together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. 
Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla to the cookie dough.
Slowly pour in the flour mixture on low speed and mix until combined.
Now time for the good stuff! 
Using a rubber spatula stir in chocolate chips and diced candied bacon.
This cookie dough is chunky and looks soooo good! Resist the urge to eat it now! 
I used an ice cream scoop and made jumbo cookie dough balls, 6-8 spaced evenly on a lined baking sheet,
Pop these babies in the oven for about 12-15 minutes until lightly golden on top.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly on the tray before moving them to a rack to cool. 
Don’t worry- even after they’re cooled they are still soft and gooey! 
This poor cookie lasted long enough for me to take this one picture before I gobbled it up!
Ah, the life of a food blogger!
Chocolate and Bacon-together they are a heavenly match, my friends! 
 
I mailed most of these to some lucky friends {you know who you are!} but I saved a few to share with my sweets-loving husband and daughter {ok, ok, I saved them because I wanted to devour them immediately}. 
If you’re a fan of salty and sweet or a bacon-chocolate lover you are in for a serious treat!

Let me start off by saying my original idea, as you will read about below, was to use my favorite Lays *Limited Edition* Chicken and Waffles Chips in a chocolate chip cookie. The result was a maple spiced, crunchy chocolate cookie straight from Heaven! Yes, they were that good.
However, more than one reader asked me: “How in the heck did I put chicken and waffles in a cookie?!” Hahahahaha! Seriously ya’ll?!
 
So I have changed the name of the recipe and made it more simple (and easy to understand) for everyone.
Hope you enjoy this Chocolate Potato Chip Cookie recipe.
I have always been a fan of salty and sweet combos so when I saw Lays Chicken and Waffles Chips in my grocery store I was beyond excited! SAY WHAT?! I had to try these!
 Turns our Lays had three flavors for their America’s Next Potato Chip Flavor Contest. Cheesy Garlic Bread and Sriracha were the other two. I tried all three but Chicken and Waffles was by far my favorite. It tasted mostly like a seasoned maple flavored potato chip and I could have seriously eaten a whole bag in one sitting! So after sampling a bag (or two…) of the Chicken and Waffle Chips I decided to use them in a cookie recipe I had been wanting to try.
And this is how I created the delicious cookies with the curious name:
Lays Chicken and Waffles Chocolate Chip Cookies
Photo credit: Lays Facebook
So :sniff, sniff: I found out today that my favorite chips lost the contest and the winner was Cheesy Garlic Bread (the creator won a cool $1 million dollars!). However, Lays is bringing all three flavors back to stores this summer for an encore so keep a look out for them. I know I am going to look like a crazy lady with a cart full of chips. I have to stock up, ya know!

  • Reduce speed to medium and beat in the eggs and vanilla.
  • Reduce speed to low and mix in the flour, salt, and baking soda.
  • Gently stir in the potato chips and chocolate chips.

  • Let cool on baking sheets then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Adapted from www.countryliving.com  


Mix softened butter and both sugars in a large bowl using a mixer.
Then add eggs and vanilla until combined, scrapping down sides.
Now add your dry ingredients: flour, salt, and baking soda.
Crush the chips by hand or put them in a plastic bag and crunch them with a rolling pin.
 
Don’t use a food processor to crush the chips because it will turn them
into itty bitty pieces. Leaving them slightly larger gives the chips
more crunch and texture!
 
Gently mix your crushed potato chips into the cookie dough.
 
 Finally add semi-sweet chocolate chips.
I used a medium ice cream scoop to make the perfect size balls of cookie dough on the baking sheet.
Spread 3 across, they do bake quite large.
 
Bake for about 14 minutes until golden brown.
I baked two batches. One with chocolate chips and one without.
I didn’t want the chocolate to cover up the maple potato chip flavor.
But Ashton and I agree the Chocolate Chip Potato Chips cookies were the best- with the perfect combination or sweet and salty!
 
 
Perfectly crispy and sweet with a hint of maple and delicious melted chocolate!
