Have you ever tried putting popcorn into cookie dough? It's amazing! These cookies are gooey, crunchy, and just a little bit salty. They are stuffed with peanut butter m&m's, chocolate chips, and popcorn. The perfect combination for a cookie.

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
Cream the butter using an electric mixer. Add in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and egg. Mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, stir together the gluten-free flour and baking powder. Slowly mix this mixture into the butter mixture.
Once the dry flour mixture is combined with the butter mixture, pour in the vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to make sure the vanilla is completely distributed.
Pour the peanut butter M&M's, chocolate chips, and popcorn into the dough and hand mix until combined.
Scoop generous balls of cookie dough from the bowl and line on the baking sheet. Top with pink Himalayan salt.
Hint: I prefer to use Cup4Cup flour when baking cookies. Find Cup4Cup HERE.
