Hello,

What I did was after making the whole batch, I put it in the fridge for 15 min. I thought it would be easier to work with since it was a bit runny.

Hope it helps...

I followed the recipe exactly, and my cookies came out flat on the pan! They all ran together and it was horrible! What did I do wrong?

I made these for a get-together at work and everyone LOVED them! I used no fat, low salt popcorn and only baked them for about 12 minutes so they weren't so crisp. They turned out great! Thanks for the recipe!

Made nice, thick cookies. Definitely a crisp cookie, not soft and chewy. Maybe a touch of baking powder if you want to soften them a bit? Used plain, unbuttered air popped popcorn and they turned out great. One or two are very filling. Very nice variation on chocolate chip cookies.

I bake alot and my family rate cookies on a 1 to 10 scale. Everyone gave these an 8 to 8 1/2. their tough critics. the cookies were very crispy and I used extra butter microwave popcorn which gave them an extra buttery taste. Be sure to form teaspoons into rounds or you can get some odd shaped cookies.These were different and yummy!
