Ingredients

2 1/2 cups sugar

4 sticks (2 cups) salted butter, softened 

1 tablespoon vanilla extract 

4 large eggs 

4 cups all-purpose flour 

2 teaspoons baking soda 

2 teaspoons kosher salt 

2 cups crushed pretzel sticks (crush in a plastic bag with a rolling pin)

2 cups toffee bits, such as Heath

2 cups crushed potato chips (crush in a plastic bag with your hands)

Directions

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the sugar and butter on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the vanilla and eggs and beat on medium speed until just combined. Add the flour, baking soda and salt. Mix everything on low speed until just combined. Stir in the pretzels. toffee bits and potato chips until you have an even mix.
  2. Using waxed paper, roll the dough into 3 logs (each about 12 inches long). If you want to enjoy these later, wrap the waxed paper logs in plastic wrap and pop in the freezer
  3. When ready to bake from fresh or frozen, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  4. Slice the dough into 3/4-inch-thick slices with a sharp knife (no need to thaw), place on the prepared baking sheet and bake until the edges are light brown and the middle has set, about 15 minutes. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

At first I wasn't sure but I also didn't do things exactly as suggested. I didn't have the small twist Rolled Gold Pretzels I love so I used the larger ones but that shouldn't have made a difference, I used Lays chips which kinda disappeared so I'm wondering if Ruffles would be a better option since they didn't add a chip crunch so they seemed to only add salt but the Heath toffee bits were fine. Don't get me wrong they were good but what I found was: the calories of adding chips wasn't worth it, size mattered on cookie size and it works best sliced as suggested. I tried a large scoop first and they were too soft and cake like, then a small scoop which also wasn't crisp enough for me but better (I like a crispy cookie) and finally I tried the dough that I froze, thawed in the fridge and sliced and they were the best. I will make again and see if I think the calories and price of the multiple goobers are worth the flavor.
