Air-popped popcorn is the fun, delicious addition to an otherwise straightforward chocolate chip cookie. It lends a little chew to each bite, plus its unmistakable roasted-corn flavour. If you don’t have an air popper, simply place a couple tablespoons of popcorn kernels in a paper bag, fold over the edges, and microwave for 1 to 2 minutes. If you’ve forgotten to set out your butter to soften, you can grate it on a box grater into your mixing bowl for instantly soft shreds.
