Road Trip Chocolate Chip Cookies
Hi! I’m Kristyn from pretty kitten’s kitchen. I’m delighted to be guest posting here on Recipes from a Pantry today. One of my driving food philosophies is that things should never get terribly complicated in the kitchen. I like to keep things un-fussy.
One of the best ways to do this is to have a basic recipe you can tweak to make any possible combination your heart might desire. Such is the case with these cookies. They make a fantastic base for a regular old chocolate chip cookie, or you can change things up in a myriad ways.
Rolos and potato chips are among my favorite road trip munchies, and I just thought they would make the most incredible cookie combo. And they do, though I say it myself. How can you go wrong, really? Vanilla-scented dough, creamy, chewy, gooey Rolo candies, and a sprinkling of mini chocolate chips, just for kicks and giggles.
I’ll take a dozen, please!

Road Trip Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 530 g (2cup + 2 tbsp.) flour
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 1/2 sticks (12 tbsp) salted butter melted (or browned!) and slightly cooled
- 220 g (1 cup) brown sugar
- 100 g (1/2 cup) sugar
- 1 egg + 1 egg yolk at room temp
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 90 g (1/2 cup) halved Rolo candies
- 30 g (1/2 cup) coarsely chopped, plain potato chips
- 60 g (1/3 cup) mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Mix the flour and baking soda in a bowl and set aside. In a separate bowl, mix the butter and sugars until combined. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and stir until well mixed. Gradually add flour mixture, and mix until a stiff dough forms. Gently fold in Rolos, potato chips, and chocolate chips into the dough until evenly distributed.
- Shape dough into walnut-sized balls (I use a cookie scoop), and place on parchment-lined cookie sheet (the parchment is important for these, since the caramel can ooze out and stick to the pan terribly).
- Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly brown. Be careful not to overbake.
- Let cool for a few minutes on the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

I think that what you published was actually very logical.
However, what about this? suppose you typed a catchier title?
I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to run your website,
however what if you added a headline that makes people desire more?
I mean Chocolate Chip Cookies is a little plain. You could peek at Yahoo’s
home page and watch how they write news
titles to get people to click. You might add a related video or a related pic
or two to get people interested about everything’ve written.
Just my opinion, it would make your blog a little bit more interesting.
I am so making these! xxx

I have been browsing on-line more than three hours these days, but I by no means discovered any interesting article like
yours. It’s pretty value enough for me. Personally, if all webmasters
and bloggers made just right content material as you did, the web
will probably be much more useful than ever before.
I believe that is among the such a lot vital
info for me. And i am satisfied studying your article. However wanna
statement on few general things, The web site style is perfect, the articles is
actually great : D. Just right job, cheers

These look just fabulous Bintu! My kiddos will gobble these up. Thanks for linking it to last week’s Weekend Potluck and congrats on the feature. I love to see what you bring every week. Have a terrific weekend!
Questo è il blog giusto per tutti coloro che vogliono capire qualcosa su questo argomento. Trovo quasi difficile discutere con te (cosa che io in realtà vorrei… haha). Avete sicuramente dato nuova vita a un tema di cui si è parlato per anni. Grandi cose, semplicemente fantastico!
I’ve been leaving this open on the computer for days hoping my husband (who works at a bakery) would notice it and make some for me. Looks like I will have to make them myself! Looks like such a good recipe, can’t wait to try it!
Maybe a few more unsubtle hints might help. =D
Absolutely mouth-watering! I am such a cookie monster and have never ever thought to add these two yummy snacks to this special hand-held treat. Oh my! SO happy you linked up at Weekend Potluck. Please come back soon.
I am turning into a cookie monster too =D. I love the weekend potluck.
Hey! Found you through the Marvelous Monday Link Up– these cookies look soooo amazing! I love the salty & sweet. Plus Rolos? Helloooo wonderful!
Ohhhh yum! I love some chocolate chip cookies, they are my weakness. If it’s a cookie it’s alright by me. I’m stopping by from the hop and I hope you have a great afternoon.
