Popcorn-Oats Cookies

These are funky cookies. They are delicate and crisp, almost like lace cookies. I make them from 2 tablespoons of dough (results in a cookie 4 inches in diameter), but you can make them smaller.

Popcorn-Oats Cookies

1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
4 cups air-popped popcorn

1/4 cup sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup olive oil

1 large egg

Combine all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until you get a wet mass. Form into 2 tablespoons patties. I do this by forming it into a rough ball and then flatten it out on the cookie sheet into a disk about 1/8 inch high.

Line two baking sheets with parchment or silpat. Leave a lot of room between them since they puff up, but then deflate. Bake in the upper and middle rack at 300 F for 25-30 minutes. Rotate the sheets halfway through baking.

When they are crusty on top they are ready to be removed from the oven. Cool until firm an then peel off and store in airtight container.

Makes 7 cookies (about 4 inches in diameter)
