Jazzed-Up Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour¾ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. baking soda
¼ tsp. table salt
13 Tbsp. unsalted butter, slightly softened
¾ cup sugar
¼ cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup (6 oz.) white chocolate chips
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup crushed potato chips, divided
Preparation
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat mat.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and table salt in a medium bowl.
• In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugar and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula, then add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until incorporated.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated and smooth.
• Stir in the oats, white chocolate chips, cranberries and half of the potato chips.
• Divide the dough into equal portions of your preferred size cookie. Roll the dough between your palms into balls, then place them on about 2½ inches apart on the lined baking sheets. Using your fingertips, gently press down each ball to a ¾-inch thickness.
• Evenly divide the remaining crushed potato chips over the top of the cookies and press them in gently.
• Bake until the cookies are deep golden brown, 13 to 16 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through.
