Peanut Butter Frito Cookies – sweet and salty goodness! These cookies are CRAZY good! We love potato chip cookies, so why not corn chip cookies! Peanut butter, butter, shortening, eggs, vanilla, flour, baking soda, and crushed Frito corn chips. We could not stop eating these cookies. YUM! Can make in advance and freeze the cookie dough balls for later. Can also freeze baked cookies. Great for parties and tailgating.

One of my favorite snacks is a Frito with peanut butter on top. I know it sounds crazy (at least Chicken Legs said so), but it tastes really good. Well, if you love Fritos and peanut butter like I do!
I started to wonder what a peanut butter cookie with Fritos in it would taste like. I decided to give it a whirl. Well, it tastes great. Even Chicken Legs agreed! Sweet and salty in one bite!!! The cookies were soft with a little crunch from the Fritos. We both had a hard time controlling ourselves around these cookies!
How to Make Peanut Butter Frito Cookies
These cookies are very easy to make. Mix together sugar, brown sugar, butter, shortening, and peanut butter. Add the eggs and vanilla. Add flour and baking soda. Mix in crushed Frito corn chips. Scoop cookie dough and roll cookie dough balls in sugar. Place on a cookie sheet and bake.
- Can use smooth or crunchy peanut butter.
- You can scoop the cookie dough and freeze the dough balls for a quick treat later,
- Can freeze baked cookies for later. I store them in ziplock freezer bags.

Can these be made into bar cookies??
I’m sure that would be just fine.
My favorite flavor combination is salty/sweet! These sound so much fun. I have to try these.
I bet nobody can guess what's in them. I like that. Thanks for sharing.
Wishes for tasty dishes,

Chicken Legs is right….that does sound crazy. But crazy enough to work.
recipie states combine the sugars and then when cookies are mixed to roll them in sugar so do you need more than the one cup of white sugar???
These sound amazing, I love salty/sweet combos. I can't wait to try them!
My MIL dips Fritos in peanut butter, too! I have to make these for her!
This is funny…I always eat fritos with my peanut butter sandwich! I know these cookies have to be yummy! Genius…
do you measure the fritos before or after crushing?
I measured the crushed Fritos.
Peanut butter and Fritos… eh, I dunno… But I'll try anything once or twice. Guess I shall be making these in the morning to see how they are. lol
