3/4
cup butter, softened
-
1/2
cup sugar
-
1/4
teaspoon salt
-
1
egg
-
1
teaspoon vanilla
-
2
cups all-purpose flour
-
1
teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
-
1/2
cup miniature semisweet chocolate pieces
-
1/3
cup finely chopped candied cherries or diced candied fruits and peels
-
1
cup crushed potato chips (about 3 cups uncrushed)
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add sugar and salt. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in egg and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour with a wooden spoon. Stir in orange peel, chocolate pieces, and candied fruits and peels.
2. Shape dough into 1-1/2-inch balls. Roll balls in crushed potato chips. Place balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Using the bottom of a glass, flatten balls until they are about 21/2 inches in diameter.
3. Bake in the preheated oven about 14 to 16 minutes or until golden. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and let cool. Makes 18 cookies.
- Storage Place cookies in layers separated by waxed paper in an airtight container; cover. Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Just finished making these. Not as good as expected. When I first read the recipe I was excited - what could be better than a little chocolate and a little bit of potato chips? I felt the 14 minutes would be too long so I only cooked them for 12 minutes. I don't think they are sweet enough.
