Categories     Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 c butter, softened
1 c sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/4 c all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt
2 c popped popcorn, lightly crushed
1 c 6 ounce pkg. semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 c chopped pecans

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease cookie sheets.
  • 2. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Stir in the popcorn, chocolate chips and pecans.
  • 3. Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto cookie sheets. Bake 13-14 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool.

Tips:

  • Choose the right popcorn. Make sure to use a good quality popcorn that pops well. Avoid using old or stale popcorn, as it will not pop as well and will result in a less flavorful cookie.
  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the cookies will taste. Use unsalted butter, pure vanilla extract, and high-quality chocolate chips for the best results.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them to rise and brown properly. Bake the cookies at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Conclusion:

Popcorn cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen, and they can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them chewy or crispy, with chocolate chips or nuts, popcorn cookies are sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dessert, give popcorn cookies a try.
