    Buttered Popcorn and Raisinet Cookies

    I call these movie theater cookies because they are the combination of my favorite movie snacks. They would be great with just about any movie snack, so throw anything that sounds good in. These are inspired by Joy the Baker's recipe and are salty, buttery, chocolatey, and sweet goodness.

    Here's what you need:

    1 bag of microwave buttered popcorn

    ½ cup unsalted butter

    ½ cup light brown sugar

    ⅓ cup granulated sugar

    1 large egg

    ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

    1 cup all-purpose flour

    ¼ teaspoon baking soda

    ¼ teaspoon salt

    ¾ cup raisnets

    Sea salt for sprinkling

    Here's what you do:

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. While the oven is heating pop the bag of popcorn in the microwave. Then cream together the butter and the two sugars in with a mixer until fluffy and well mixed. Beat in the egg and vanilla and mix until combined. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix until combined. Then fold in ½ the bag of popcorn (should be about 4 cups) until well dispersed. Finally, add the raisinets and until evenly dispersed.

    Using a tablespoon scoop out cookie dough into 2 inch balls and place onto two baking sheets. Sprinkle with sea salt and bake for 13 minutes. ´

    About Pate

    Hi! I'm Pate, the blogger, recipe developer, and photographer behind The G&M Kitchen!

    Raised in the heart of Kentucky, I come from a long line of passionate cooks and bakers. The kitchen was always the heart of our home, where we transformed vegetables into delightful dishes and crafted pies and cakes that emerged from the oven. This tradition of coming together through food and cooking inspired the name of my blog, The G&M Kitchen – 'G' for my father's family, the Giltners, and 'M' for my mother's family, the Millers.

    I also believe if a recipe is missing something, it's probably bourbon.
