Buttered Popcorn Cookies

Caramel corn in cookie form! These are little drop cookies made by folding freshly popped, buttered popcorn into a sweet, caramel flavoured cookie dough before baking.

They're best eaten freshly made, while the popcorn retains its crunch, and perhaps that’s how they’re meant to be enjoyed as the recipe doesn’t include storage information. After just a few hours, the popcorn has a stale, chewy texture though the cookie part is still nice and crisp. Also, I think the dough needs a little salt as the salted popcorn is so unevenly distributed, some bites have none at all (of salt or popcorn). My yield, using a heaping tbsp, was 40 cookies.

So far opinion is divided and seems to change with every cookie eaten so my rating prevails….
