Office Popularity Cookies
Whether enjoyed as a snack or served at gatherings, these popularity cookies were sure to bring smiles to everyone’s faces. I made a mental note to bring them to my next social gathering, knowing they would make me popular once again.
Ingredients
35 soda crackers
1 cup butter
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup blanched slivered almonds
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Cover a sided cookie sheet with aluminum foil and line crackers on the foil.
- Combine butter and brown sugar in a saucepan. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil and boil for 3 minutes. Pour over crackers completely.
- Bake for 5-6 minutes, watch carefully. Remove cookie sheet from oven, place it on the oven door and sprinkle chips over baked crackers. When chocolate gets soft, spread over crackers with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle slivered almonds on melted chocolate. Place in refrigerator for at least 8 hours. Break into cookie-size pieces. This recipe freezes well.
I gathered all the necessary ingredients and started assembling the cookies. The process was straightforward, requiring a simple combination of butter, sugar, and crushed Ritz crackers. The mixture was then shaped into bite-sized cookies and baked to golden perfection.
The aroma of freshly baked cookies filled my kitchen, adding to the anticipation of tasting the final result. Once the cookies had cooled, I took my first bite, and instantly understood why they were called “popularity cookies.”
The combination of buttery, salty Ritz crackers and the sweetness of the sugar created a perfect balance of flavors. Each bite was addictive, with a satisfying crunch that kept me coming back for more. I could easily see why these cookies were such a hit among my colleagues at work.
