Buttered Popcorn Chocolate Chip Cookies

When I first saw this post on Joy's blog about the cookies the amount for the chocolate was missing. Joy has now fixed it to add that amount. I was craving something sweet and different and I love salty and sweet so I knew I had to give these a try and boy am I glad I did. They are fantastic! Delicious with a capitol D. Both hubby and I enjoyed them.

I didn't have any dark chocolate on hand (which I love) but decided to use mini semi-sweet chocolate chips. I hope to make them again with the dark chocolate chunks but if they're any better than the ones I just made don't know if I'll be able to stand it.

I checked some other chocolate chip cookie recipes that also make about two dozen cookies, including Joy's Sweet Potato Chocolate chip ones from her book. which are also delicious and they called for a cup. So I measured out a cup of the mini ones and added in when I added the popcorn. after I had dumped in about 3/4 of a cup I decided to stir before adding more since it looked like a lot. I stopped at that.

I also wanted to use the suggestion on Joy's blog to use buttered microwave popcorn so I googled to see if this recipe was online anywhere to see if I could find an amount for 1/4 cup kernels after they are popped. I found that it seems to be about 4 to 4 1/2 cups so I used about 4 1/2 cups popped microwave popcorn.
