Blockbuster cookies

OK, so if you like a cookie that would go GREAT with movie night, than this is the cookie for you!  They are Blockbuster cookies and I found them while I was flipping through my Family Fun magazine!  Going to the movies, for me anyway, almost ALWAYS includes popcorn, candy (chocolate), and pop (special treat since I don't buy pop for home).  Ok, so let me be honest with you, my husband and I do NOT have time to go to the movies like we used to.  Plus, look how much they cost these days!  Wow!  It's outrageous!  

So, here are the ingredients:

1 cup brown sugar

2 1/2 cups flour

3 cups popcorn - salted and buttered

2 eggs

1 TBSP vanilla

1/2 cup sugar

1 1/2 cups raisinets

1 tsp salt

2 sticks butter, at room temp

1 tsp baking soda

Pretty simple ingredients right??

The first step:  the butter and sugars blended until they're well combined.

Step 2:  Mix flour, baking soda, and the salt.

Here they go!  They will be ready to eat in about 10-15 minutes!  So, I did try the cookie dough before they went in the oven!  Hey!  Don't judge me!  I had to taste test it to make sure it didn't need any more salt!

All done!  Finally!  That was the longest 15 minutes ever!  

And here they are - up close and personal!  Don't they look yummy!  The popcorn in them sort of tastes like  caramel corn!  I will also tell you that my kids did try them, but unfortunately they didn't like them like I thought they would!  Who says we always have to make what they like?
