Butterscotch Popcorn Cookies

We've been having more at-home movie nights than ever lately, so that means more popcorn. That also means sometimes having popcorn leftovers. I decided to make some yummy all-in-one movie night cookies using that popcorn. They are sweet and buttery with a touch of salt to finish. The textures are just out of this world.

Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: 20-24 cookies

Ingredients:

6 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup quick cooking oats
1 tsp baking soda
dash of salt
1 cup butterscotch morsels
2 cups popped popcorn

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 F. Beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined.

Stir in egg and vanilla. Mix until smooth.

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt.

Stir dry mixture into wet mixture until smooth.

Stir in butterscotch morsels.

Carefully go through the popcorn to make sure there are no unpopped kernels. Give it a rough chopping.

Stir the chopped popcorn into the dough.

Drop heaping tablespoonfuls onto cookie sheets. Bake until edges begin to brown, about 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the cookies. Remove from oven and sprinkle lightly with a touch of salt. Cool on a wire rack.
