Potato Chip Cookies

[johnro]

Very moorish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! however no responsibility will be accepted for the cravings for nor the possible health effects of these odd delights!!!!!!!Potato Chip Cookies – makes 70

The original recipe was given to me in a Christmas card - (about the time Noah built the ark!!!!!).  My KA had always been used to make these as I did not think that TMX could cope with amount but the resulting mixture was fabulous and I have never before made 70 from this mixture.

•   500g softened butter
•   330g castor sugar
•   2 teasp vanilla essence – 10ml
•   110g flaked almonds – (1 cup)
•   435g plain flour
•   85g plain broken potato chips – (1½ cups)

1.  Set oven 180⁰C.  Paper biscuit trays.
2.  Place cut up butter into TMX bowl – beat 2 mins - speed 5.
3.  Insert butterfly – add castor sugar and vanilla - beat 3 – 4 mins – speed 3 – 4 – may need to scrape sides of bowl.
4.  Remove butterfly – add almonds and mix 20 sec speed 2 - 3 – give bowl a scrape down.
5.  Add flour to bowl – interval speed – 2 mins – I found it best to stop a couple of times and scrape the bowl
6.  Add potato chip pieces – speed 2 - 1min.  Check potato chips are right through mixture – I used a spatula to mix before  spooning onto tray,
7.  Place large teasp mixture onto papered tray – leave room for spreading (20 teasp per biscuit tray).
8.  Bake 20mins or until slight golden.  Sprinkle with icing sugar

   ENJOY!!!!!!!! xx

 While the mixture is more like a cake dough when spooning onto tray, the biscuits are very crisp as a result of the shortening, almonds and potato chips.

Yum. Did they go soft because of the potato chips?

broken potato chips are said to have less calories as like broken biscuits, they escape into the air.[/color]
