Description
Two very different snacks combined – popcorn meets cookie! These Sweet ‘n’ Salty Popcorn Cookies are one of a kind. Something you should definitely try!
Ingredients
1/2 cup (120g) butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup (100g) sugar
1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla paste
5.3 oz. (150g) all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
about 1.4 oz. (40g) popcorn (sweet & salty), slightly crushed
some flaky sea salt (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside.
2. Add the soft butter and both sugars to a large bowl and mix until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla paste and mix until well combined. Combine flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda and add to the large bowl – mix until just combined.
3. Go through the popcorn and crush/break apart larger pieces and remove any unpopped kernels. Add to the large bowl and fold in. Use a large cookie scoop* and place cookie dough portions with enough space in between on the baking sheet – the cookies spread quite a lot. Sprinkle with some flaky sea salt (optional) and bake for about 11-13 minutes – until lightly browned. Take out of the oven and let cool down on the baking sheet for some time, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool down completely. Repeat with remaining dough and bake a second batch.
