1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325F; get out 2 large cookie trays (I use half sheet pans).
Cream together the butter, sugar, and maple flavor, and then mix in the flour. Fold in the pecans and potato chips.
Use a 1 1/2-tablespoon scoop to measure out the dough and drop it onto the cookie trays, leaving about 1 1/2 inches between each cookie.
Bake until the cookies are golden on the bottom, about 18 to 20 minutes, rotating the trays once halfway through.
Let the cookies cool completely on the trays before removing.

Notes

This recipe makes about 30 cookies. Each serving is 3 cookies, for a total of 10 servings.
Store these cookies covered at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
You'll need about 2 to 2 1/2 cups of whole potato chips to get 1 1/2 cups of crushed chips.
This recipe is easy to customize! You can use any type of nuts you like instead of pecans. And if you can't find maple extract, you can use vanilla extract instead.
