Cookie Dough Popcorn

That cookie-dough-from-the-mixing-bowl flavor - safe to snack on since there's no raw egg involved at all.

⏱ 15 min 👩‍🍳 Easy 🍽 4 servings

Brown sugar, vanilla, and mini chocolate chips turn popcorn into something that tastes suspiciously like raw cookie dough.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 6 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Pop the kernels.
  2. Melt the butter with the brown sugar and salt in a pot and simmer gently, stirring, for 2 minutes.
  3. Take off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Pour over the popcorn and mix thoroughly until evenly coated.
  5. Let cool briefly, then mix in the mini chocolate chips so they don't melt right away.

Tips & Variations

  • The mixture doesn't need to boil like caramel - a gentle simmer is enough, or it'll turn too hard.
  • Add the mini chocolate chips only after it's cooled, or they'll melt completely and disappear into the mixture.
  • For the full cookie-dough effect, stir an extra pinch of flour into the sugar mixture - purely for flavor, harmless in this small amount.
