When I saw potato chips as one of the ingredients of these cookies I was intrigued so I just had to try them.  You can't really taste the chips but according to the recipe they're supposed to add a sublte, salty crunch to an otherwise traditional cookie.  Very tasty!

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup finely chopped pecans
• 1/2 cup finely crushed potato chips
• sugar or coarse grain sugar.

• Heat oven to 350F.
• Combine butter, sugar and vanilla in large bowl;
• beat at medium speed until creamy.
• Reduce speed to low;
• add flour, pecans and potato chips;
• beat until well mixed.
• Shape dough into 1-inch balls;
• flatten with palm of hand to approx 1/4 inch and place onto ungreased cookie sheets.
• Gently press bottom of a glass on a cookie to get it slightly greased.
• Dip glass into sugar and press lightly onto cookie to coat each cookie with sugar.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until cookies are just set.
• Cool 1 minute on cookie sheets; remove to cooling rack.
