Parmesan Potato Chips Cookies

What do you think of crushed potato chips mixed into cookie batter to produce a fusion of potato chips and cookies? Crazy? Not a bad idea actually.

I have read about potato chip cookies but never took them seriously until I spotted Kimmy's. I was really curious what it would be like to eat a cookie and potato chips at the same time. But I was iffy about the parmesan cheese although I found the cheese quite pleasing here. 

So I set forth and baked these cookies. Once baked, the smell of the cheese and butter was really nice. When the cookies were cool enough, I tried one.

It was not love at first bite but as I chewed, the taste grew on me. And it got better and better and I wanted to eat more and more. But of course I had to stop as these were meant to be given away.

I baked another batch a few days later. Well, that batch was also given away and unfortunately for me, most of it went into the two canisters which meant there was none to spare for me.

Since I haven't had enough of these cheesy cookies, I shall bake me another batch real soon.
