Popcorn Cookies

When it comes to Popcorn, me and my daughter have always preferred the sweet variety. My son and my husband have always gone for salty.

In this recipe, I used Sweet (obvs) but adding salt too..for balance, to let my husband and son know that I cared about their preference for salty popcorn, but mainly because salt and dark chocolate just works so well together.

Ingredients used in Popcorn Cookies

Light Brown Sugar – Pairs perfectly with the toffee notes of sweet popcorn.

Caster Sugar – For perfectly crispy edges.

Browned Butter – This gives a gorgeously rich and nutty taste.

Dark Chocolate – Use a good quality dark Chocolate. 

Egg – Again adds to chewiness.

Bicarbonate of Soda – For chewy rather then cakey cookies.

Vanilla and Salt - To add flavour and lift.

Plain Flour - I prefer to use this instead of Self Raising Flour so I can add as much raising agent as needed. 

Sweet Popcorn - Use your favourite variety.
