Ok, what day isn't a great day for cookies? I've yet to figure that out and I've decided that's a good thing. Take your pick from that plate, they're all winners.
Two of these are testers: the Iced Caramel Cookies and the Glazed Lime Cookies. They're both for Garrick and Autumn Vegan's cookbook. Both amazing. The Caramel cookies have a nice crispness to the outside but a kind of toffee-like inside. They are incredible. The Glazed Lime are exactly what they say. With an almost cake-like texture, these are soft and buttery citrusy.
The last cookies are Potato Chip Cookies. This recipe has been in the family since the '70's. I've been thinking about veganizing it for a few months. This morning I dug the recipe out...and they were already vegan. So I can't really take much credit for this cookie. But I did add the chocolate drizzle because I didn't think they were sweet enough. It's optional, but a nice compliment. My mom, on the other hand, doesn't think they should be a sweet cookie. Go with what you like.
These kind of seem like they'd be a Brady Bunch Cookie. You know, the hay day of junk food and vhf tv.
Potato Chip Cookies
2 dozen
1 cup earth balance
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup crushed potato chips
1/4 cup milk (add as needed, you may not need it all)
1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional, for drizzle)
Preheat oven to 350.
Cream eb and sugar until fluffy and light. Add vanilla and flour, mix in. Fold in crushed potato chips. Using a teaspoon, drop on cookie sheet covered with parchment. Bake for 15 minutes until light gold on the edges. If using the drizzle, let cookies cool, then do the drizzle thing.
We had an awesome Moroccan Cous Cous dinner last night. I'll post that soon.

you? you are brilliant!
Celine, coming from you, who I think of as the Queen of Cookies, that's quite a compliment. Thanks a lot! You're way too kind.
I made a quarter batch of the potato chip cookies and I have already eaten 7. They are so good! Thanks for sharing the recipe, I had never heard of them before!
Katie, I'm so glad to hear that you tried them! And even happier that they were a hit. Thanks a lot!
I said it couldn't be done, potato chips and chocolate. You are my husband's new hero, two of his loves combined in one cookie. To know that this entire time you were sitting on a gold mine, thanks for sharing this unique recipe.
Erica, thanks for your post! It's so nice to be someone's hero and to do it through cookies is really special! I hope the recipe doesn't let you (or your husband!) down if you try it.
I must make the tatie chip cookies!
Let me know if you try them, vegan addict!
