The perfect accompaniment to any dessert? French fries. I'm a slave to the phenom–yes, phenom–of the salty/sweet combination. And so how could I pass up sharing this recipe for chocolate chip cookies with crushed potato chips thrown into the batter from baking blog Buns In My Oven? The tiny bits of crunchy saltiness work as perfect accents to the classic chocolate chip cookie.

It works in the same bizarre way that bacon bits work with chocolate bars. Or pretzels with chocolate. Or how sea salt works with caramel… but this time, all the ingredients are probably in your pantry right now.
The following recipe is borrowed in its entirety from Bun In My Oven!
