Sadly, a few days ago my Grandma Betty lost her battle to cancer. She was 86 years old and loved baking for her family and for family gatherings. When I told the girls we had lost Gigi, Allison asked if we could make her potato chip cookies. I figured this would be a great way to show our love and appreciation for her by making one of her dessert specialties (I decided NOT to make her famous brownies, b/c I knew I couldn't compete!). Typically she would make/serve these covered with powdered sugar, but I figured since most of us would be wearing dark colors at her wake, this would probably not be a good idea. With or without the powdered sugar, these are light, airy, and delicious. We love you Grandma Betty!
