2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup shortening
½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups plain, crushed potato chips
1 cup butterscotch baking chips
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease or line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In medium bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda.
In bowl of stand mixer fitted with paddle, beat sugar, brown sugar, shortening, butter and vanilla on medium speed until creamy.
Add the eggs beating well after each addition.
Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Stir in potato chips and butterscotch chips.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, place dough on prepared cookie sheets, leaving 2-inches between each cookie as they spread during baking.
Bake 11 - 13 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool on the cookie sheets for a few minutes before transferring to rack.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
Yield: 44 cookies.
