We love cookies at our house and we love caramel corn so why not combine the two!
I am a big fan of adding fun things into my cookies to give it texture and flavor. Â Who would have thought that adding caramel corn into your cookie would work? Â Yeah for caramel corn cookies!Â
There are several things I love about this cookie. Â The caramel corn doesn’t give the cookie a lot of flavor but it gives it a very fun texture. Â The great flavor in this cookie comes from the almond extract. Â I am a huge fan of almond. Â If you aren’t just substitute vanilla extract instead.
I purchased caramel corn at Trader Joes but the cookie would probably be even better if you made your own caramel corn. Â Our favorite caramel corn recipe can be found here.
