How to Make Candy Corn Cookies
- Step 1 – Heat Oven – Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2 – Beat the butter until soft and fluffy.
Step 3 – Then combine the butter with both of the sugars and vanilla extract.
Step 4. Next, add in the eggs one at a time. Blend the mixture together after each egg. This ensure the egg and vanilla are combined really well.
Step 5. Then stir in by hand the flour, baking soda and salt. Make sure to not overmix.
Step 6. Make balls out of the dough and place on the baking sheet. I like to use a cookie scoop.
Step 7. Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes.
Step 8. Remove the cookies from the oven. Then place 2-3 pieces of candy corn on each cookie. Gently press the candy corns into the cookies so they do not fall off. Then bake again for 1-2 minutes to set the candy corn.
Step 9. Remove from the oven. Allow to cool on the cookie sheets for approximately 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack.
Storage
Store the leftovers of these soft and chewy cookies in an airtight container. These cookies will stay fresh for up to a week. You can store at room temperature or in the fridge.
Pro Tips
- Cookie Scoops – Cookie Scoops make it so easy to form the cookies quickly and all the same size.
- Mixing Ingredients – You will need a stand mixer or a hand-held mixer. Either of these will work but I prefer my stand mixer. It makes everything even easier and definitely gets plenty of use.
- Baking Cookies – Keep an eye on the cookies especially once you put them back in the oven with the candy corn. This last step only takes 1-2 minutes to finish baking. You do not want to walk off or leave the kitchen at that point.
- Cool Cookies – Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. This will help to cookies settle and the candy corn to form into the cookies without breaking.
