When I used to make cookies from scratch (a long, long time ago), I would underbake some and overbake others, to produce both soft and crunchy cookies.....to please those who have a preference.

That's the best excuse I've heard yet. (just teasing you, jujube)

That sounds like at least twice as much butter as that recipe needs. After 18 minutes at 350 I would expect to get hard, greasy cookies.

I though so too. The recipe was from a locally produced cookbook. Maybe the person that submitted it mistook 1 stick for 1 cup (which is twice the amount).

And there's already a substantial amount of fat in the potato chips. This isn't a recipe I'd try.
