Hello on a Tuesday!  I adding in a last minute post today to helpout with yesterday’s Secret Recipe Club reveal.
Today I’m baking up somecompletely fabulous cookies from Kate’s blog, Food Babbles.
Kate describes herself as a(mostly) stay at home mom, and part time paramedic, and amateur photographer.  She sure sounds busy!  And yet she has time to make all sorts ofwonderful, beautifully photographed recipes. 
While I was browsing throughher recipes, I noticed a half bag of potato chips taunting me in thebackground.  So when I saw potato chipcookies, I knew that was the way to go (and we all know how much I adore thesalty-sweet combination!)
So stop by and say Hi to Kateand enjoy some delicious cookies!

Recipe Notes:*I used a mini food processor to finely crush the potatochips.*For the coarsely crushed potato chips, I simply took acouple handfuls of chips and crushed them in my hands directly into themeasuring cup.*Since the potato chips are so greasy, I cut the amount of Criscoin this recipe down by 1/3.
