Potato Chip Cookies

Ever wonder what to do with the end of the bag of potato chip crumbs? Make cookies!
My mom writes in the family cookbook "I remember mom making these cookies--they were so good. Besides, it's a good way to use the end of the potato chips."

1/3 cup finely crushed potato chips
1/4 cup chopped nuts
3/4 cup oleo, softened
1 egg yolk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups sifted flour
1/2 cup sugar

Heat oven to 375. In large bowl, beat sugar, oleo, egg yolk, vanilla until light and fluffy. Add flour to sugar mixture; mix well. Stir in chips and nuts. Roll into 1" balls. Place 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Dip 3" glass in remaining sugar and flatten balls. Bake 12-15 min. or until brown. Cool slightly and remove from pan. Makes 3 dozen.
