Because I live in Idaho, I of course had to incorporate what Idaho is known for, the potato, into these Buttery Walnut Potato Chip Cookies. Delicious shortbread cookies loaded with mini chocolate chips, walnuts and salty potato chips make these Buttery Walnut Potato Chip Cookies the BEST EVER!

In mixer bowl, combine butter and sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla followed by flour, and beat until mixed well and creamy. Fold in chocolate chips, walnuts and potato chips.
Take tablespoon-size portions, lightly roll into a ball and place on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 14-16 minutes or until golden brown on the bottoms (because it's shortbread, they will still look soft on top; they will set as they cool).
Allow to cool on pan for several minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.
