Create irresistible sugar cookie treats by topping them with popcorn, pretzels, candies, and peanuts for the ultimate snack at slumber parties or movie nights.
Ingredients:
  • 1 roll (16.5 oz) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon kosher (coarse) salt
  • 2/3 cup whipping cream
  • 6 cups popped popcorn
  • 2 cups pretzel sticks, broken into pieces
  • 2 cups candy-coated milk chocolate candies
  • 1 cup salted peanuts
  • Additional kosher (coarse) salt, if desired
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Prepare your cookie sheet by either spraying it with cooking spray or lining it with cooking parchment paper. Spread the cookie dough onto the cookie sheet.
  • In a large saucepan, bring sugar, water, and 1 teaspoon of salt to a boil over medium-high heat. Let it boil undisturbed until it turns amber in color, approximately 8 to 12 minutes. Take the saucepan off the heat, then slowly pour in the whipping cream (be cautious, as it will sizzle).
  • Combine popcorn, pretzels, candies, and peanuts in a large bowl. Drizzle caramel mixture over and mix until everything is well coated. Press mixture firmly and evenly onto cookie dough, then sprinkle with additional salt.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the cookie layer is golden brown. Allow to cool completely before slicing into 12 equal squares.
