movie night popcorn chocolate chip cookies
A cookie salty and sweet, perfect for a movie night treat.
Ingredients
- 2 sticks butter, softened
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/4-2 1/3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 2 cups butter popcorn, popped, lightly crushed
- 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips and/or chunks
- flaky sea salt, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment.
- In a bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and regular sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Whip in the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in the popcorn and the chocolate chips and/or chunks. Do not overmix.
- Scoop rounded two tablespoon-sized mounds of dough and roll into a ball. Place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about two inches of space between each. Bake 10-12 minutes, rotating the pan once halfway through baking time. Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet.
- Enjoy a few warm (ooooh yeahhh) or cool completely, cover in a tupperware or ziptop bag, and store for later.
