Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 3/4 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 egg white, lightly beaten
- 2 cups potato chips, crushed
- ½ cup jam of your choice
Directions:
Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F.
Step 2: In a stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter. Scrape downsides of the bowl and add both sugars. Cream together, about 3 minutes.
Step 3: Add the egg and vanilla and continue to mix.
Step 4: In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt.
Step 5: Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture and stir until just combined. Add the peanut butter and mix until well combined.
Step 6: Roll heaping tablespoon-sized balls with the dough and toss in the egg whites followed by the potato chips until well coated.
Step 7: Place balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet (you will have to use two baking sheets). Gently press your pinky into the center of the dough.
Step 8: Place into the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until cookies have spread and baked through.
Step 9: Allow cookies to cool completely before filling with a small amount of jam. Once cookies have been filled with jam, set aside, and allow cookies to set for about 1 hour.
