Popcorn-Infused Oatmeal Cookies

These Oatmeal Raisin Biscuits are Topped With Salty Popcorn Pieces

— September 3, 2015 — Lifestyle
If you love popcorn and you love cookies, this innovative recipe by lifestyle blog Bakeat250 cleverly combines the two contrasting flavors into one delicious dessert. This recipe expertly revives the traditional oatmeal raisin cookie with bold new textures and tastes.

Popcorn and cookies are both delicious snacks that foodies often gravitate towards but for different reasons. Bringing them together into one meal is an ideal way to revamp the texture and aesthetic of a cookie so that it has more savory and salty flavors. The recipe calls for standard oatmeal cookie ingredients such as spices, rolled oats, brown sugar and butter. The popcorn is made separately and topped with salt and melted butter before being added to the cookie dough after it has baked for 11 minutes. This ensures the popcorn pieces don't turn soggy and retain their crunchy texture.

1. Popcorn-infused Desserts - Opportunity for creating unique desserts by incorporating popcorn into traditional recipes.
2. Textural Innovation in Baking - The use of contrasting textures in baking offers a unique sensory experience for consumers.
3. Savory-sweet Flavor Combinations - The trend of combining savory and sweet flavors opens up new taste profiles for baked goods.
Industry Implications

2. Bakery - Bakeries can experiment with innovative recipes that incorporate popcorn to attract customers looking for new and exciting desserts.
3. Snack Food - The snack food industry can explore new popcorn-infused snack offerings, appealing to consumers who enjoy both sweet and savory indulgences.
