Popcorn Cookies
"Wow! Are these ever wild! They're really good too! These are great any time of the year, but even more so at Halloween! What a fun project for the whole family! You can use different types of candy such as caramel or white chocolate morsels. You could even use candy corn, and try using different types of nuts. This was on Taste of Home."

So good...can't wait to try them with candy corn next Halloween. Really beautiful white cookies suitable for holiday gift giving. I could call them 'regift' cookies because I used kettle corn received as a gift plus cinnamon glazed pecans received as a gift plus butterscotch chips. Mine baked perfectly in 11 minutes. -
Delicious & crunchy & wonderful when freshly baked! However, the popcorn seemed to go really stale within a day. -
I found this recipe 4 years ago. My family loves these cookies. I can't keep enough made at Christmas. They should be called the disappearing cookies.

I would like to welcome you to my recipes. I have been with Food.com since 10/05.
My beloved husband, Tom, passed away 3 years ago. My world stopped. It's taken me all this time to find my way back to life without him.
I have been so blessed to have found my second, once in a lifetime. I've met an amazing man who is so good to me.
We moved from Las Vegas, Nevada to Bullhead City, Az. in February, and we love it here.
I have worked at Bally's and Paris hotel.casinos, in Las Vegas. I have seen some very famous entertainers, including Liza Minnelli, Penn and Teller, Ray Liotta, Dr. J (Julius Erving), Frank Sinatra and his wife Barbara Marx. and many, many more.
Cooking is my passion, and I am slowly, but surely beginning to venture into the world of baking. To me, cooking is so much easier because baking is so much more exact.
I love to make Italian and Mexican food the best, followed by Chinese and last, but by far the least, good old American food! How can you beat chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy?? I love to find several recipes and put my own spin on them and create a new recipe.
