Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups caramel popcorn (homemade or store-bought), roughly chopped

Optional Garnish

  • Drizzle of melted chocolate
  • Extra caramel popcorn for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats for easy cleanup.
  • Prepare the Cookie Dough:
    • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
    • Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and caramel popcorn, being careful not to crush the popcorn too much.
  • Shape the Cookies:
    • Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake the Cookies:
    • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set. Avoid overbaking for a chewy texture.
    • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Garnish and Serve:
    • Drizzle melted chocolate over the cookies, if desired, and top with extra caramel popcorn for a fun, decorative touch.

Notes

  • Texture Tip: For chewier cookies, avoid overbaking them. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  • Customization: Feel free to swap the caramel popcorn for other crunchy treats like toffee bits or crushed pretzels for a fun twist.
  • Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to a week for maximum freshness.
