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:

  • Use fresh popcorn: Stale popcorn will not yield as flavorful cookies, so make sure to use fresh popcorn that has been popped within the last day or two.
  • Don't overcook the popcorn: Overcooked popcorn will be tough and chewy, so be careful not to overcook it. The popcorn should be popped until it is golden brown and fluffy.
  • Use a good quality chocolate: The chocolate is a key ingredient in these cookies, so it's important to use a good quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape better and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be baked until they are just set, but not overbaked. Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

Popcorn cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover popcorn. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of popcorn cookies that will be sure to please everyone. So next time you have a craving for something sweet, give popcorn cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
