How to Make Popcorn Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently stir in the popped popcorn, chocolate chips, pecans, and any optional candies (candy corn, caramel, or white chocolate morsels).
- Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 13-14 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
