Candy Corn Sugar Cookies Recipe Tips:
- Cookie Scoops – If you are still scooping sugar cookie dough with two spoons. You really need to get yourself some stainless steel scoops. I have had mine for several years and I use them for all types of baking.
- 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.
Recipe Variation:
- Orange Dough – Feel free to use orange food coloring to die the cookie dough. It is a fun twist on this Candy Corn Cookie Recipe.
