Ingredients

  • 10 tablespoons butter , softened to room temperature (140 grams)
  • ½ cup light or dark brown sugar (107 grams)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200 grams)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour (195 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon milk powder/instant milk
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • cup crushed graham crackers (50 grams, about 5 graham cracker squares)
  • cup old-fashioned rolled oats (30 grams)
  • 2 teaspoons coffee grounds (see Note)
  • ½ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips (90 grams)
  • ½ cup butterscotch chips (85 grams)
  • 1 cup mini pretzels , broken up (40 grams)
  • 2 cups potato chips (70 grams)
  • Coarse or flaky salt , for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  • Beat butter, sugar and brown sugar with an electric mixer or stand mixer on medium high (with paddle attachment if you have it) for 2-3 minutes until pale and fluffy.
  • Mix eggs and vanilla in one at a time, mixing briefly between each addition. Then beat on medium high for 6-7 minutes until batter is light and frothy, pausing once to scrape down the bowl.
  • In a separate bowl stir together all-purpose flour, milk powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and add to the mixer all at once. Mix until just incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl combine graham cracker crumbs, oats, coffee grounds, mini chocolate chips and butterscotch chips in a bowl, then add all at once and mix until incorporated.
  • Add the pretzels and potato chips and mix for just a few seconds to incorporate them through the dough without breaking up the potato chips as much as possible.
  • Portion cookie dough with a large cookie scoop (3 tablespoon size #20) onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper (and if desired, add a few more mix-ins to the top of each round), cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the fridge for 1 hour and up to several days.
  • Place chilled cookie dough about 4 inches apart on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake at 375°F for about 10-12 minutes.
  • If cookies bake up misshapen (because there are so many mix-ins this is common), use a spatula to gently push hot cookies back into a round right after they come out of the oven. If desired, sprinkle with coarse salt.
  • Let the cookies cool on the sheet pan for at least 5 minutes to finish setting up. Then enjoy warm, or transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Notes

  • You can use salted or unsalted butter, per your preference.
  • To make graham cracker crumbs, seal in a ziplock bag and crush with something heavy. It's okay if some crumbs are bigger than others.
  • You can use any coffee grounds you like except instant coffee, and make sure they are unused coffee grounds. If preferred, they can be omitted entirely.
  • Thicker, kettle-style potato chips are preferred for this recipe. Do not break up before adding to cookie dough.
  • If you don't have a #20 large cookie scoop, you can use a ¼ cup measuring scoop. Cookies need to be on the larger size because of all the bulky mix-ins.
  • Cookies will be best the day they are baked, but will keep at room temperature in an airtight container for several days. 
  • Chilled cookie dough can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week and baked as desired.
  • To freeze cookie dough, freeze for 30 minutes on a sheet pan, then transfer to an airtight freezer bag and store for a month or more. Let cookie dough rounds thaw while oven preheats.
