Chilly autumn weather and outdoor sports often make us crave snacks like popcorn, cookies and hot chocolate. So why not combine the tasty treats? You can with this recipe for Popcorn Cookies.
They taste a lot like chocolate chip cookies, but the crushed popcorn gives them an added crunch. Real chocolate lovers can even dip the cookies in a steaming cup of hot chocolate since they hold up well to the dunking.
Chocolate chip cookies and popcorn have always been favorites among my family, and this recipe offers the best of both!
