Preparation

Step 1

Process potato chips and weigh until you have 5 ounces (about half the bag).
Preheat oven to 350° F.

In a large bowl, whisk together baking powder, flour, xanthan gum, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
Stir in the brown sugar and coconut and mix until combined.

In separate bowl, whisk together the oil (or butter), vanilla extract, agave, egg and 5 tablespoons coffee.
Add the wet to the dry, stirring until smooth.
If the dough is too stiff, add more coffee as needed to soften.
It is a pretty thick cookie dough.
Stir in potato chips and chocolate chips and stir to combine.

Drop by the tablespoon onto a sheet pan lined with parchment and bake on the bottom rack for 15-17 minutes.
Remove and cool for 5 minutes and move cookies to a cooling rack.
Repeat until all dough is used.
