By boscobojo

Ingredients

• 7 cups plain popped popcorn
• 1 Tbl. melted plus 1/2 cup softened butter
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Toss popcorn with melted butter and salt in a mixing bowl.

In a very large mixing bowl, cream softened butter, brown sugar, sugar, egg and vanilla until smooth.

In another bowl whisk together flour and baking soda.

Add dry ingredients to wet and stir until blended. Then fold in popcorn until fully incorporated (some kernels will not remain whole.)

Form heaping tablespoon-size mounds of batter on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until light brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
