Christmas already?!? I don’t know about you, but it is too early for me to think about Christmas. Â But on the flip side, maybe it’s a good idea to plan ahead.
I am going to share a recipe with you from my Grandma A. Â We used to visit her during the summer at her home in Mesa, Arizona and she would make some treats for our arrival. Â One of my favorites was her Potato Chip Cookies. Â They resemble a shortbread cookie with a salty, crunchy surprise of a potato chip. Â I bring up Christmas, because every year for our holiday baking we make these Potato Chip Cookies and share them with friends and family. Â For me, biting into these cookies is just like sharing a memory, fun times and family.
To get the holiday started, so to speak, I am sharing the recipe with you and those from other blogs. Â Enjoy!
