I love them just as is but you can change out the vanilla and use almond and it switches up the flavor to a buttery spritz cookie bothe very good
10/3/2011 01:27:34 PM Report AbuseNot loving these-there wasn't much flavor so added chocolate chips which helped-used Lay's original chips-would not make them again
1/16/2011 05:44:21 PM Report AbuseI've made them twice and everyone loves them. First reactions were "potato chip cookies?". But once they tried them they loved them. I also use the Lay's chips. Definitely a "keeper"
12/27/2010 07:02:50 PM Report AbuseThis cookie didn't have much flavor. I used Cape Cod Potato Chips and maybe they were not salty enough. If I would make them again, I would roast the pecans and maybe add some other flavoring.
12/5/2009 03:24:53 PM Report AbuseThese are good, but are very delicate and can fall apart when transferring from cookie sheet to metal rack. I used a tablespoon scooper to form the rounded balls and then placed on a cookie sheet sprayed with Pam. They do taste somewhat like pecan sandies, but I did not add pecans due to allergies. I recommend a salty potato chip like Lay's in the yellow bag for more salty flavor.
