Candy Corn Cookies Recipe

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.

Step 3

Add in egg, vanilla, and heavy cream and continue mixing until well incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch and mix together well.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Mix after each addition and continue until everything is well incorporated.

Step 6

Scoop out 1 heaping tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Then flatten it into a circle and place it on the prepared cookie sheet.

Step 7

Place 3-4 pieces of candy corn in the center of the circle of dough.

Step 8

Scoop out another tablespoon of dough and flatten it. Press it over the top of the candy. Press the edges to seal the candy inside.

Step 9

Bake for 8-10 minutes. Then take the tray from the oven and immediately press a few pieces of candy corn on top of the cookies.

Step 10

Place the cookies back in the oven for 2 minutes so the candy sticks to the top.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes. Then place them on a wire rack to finish cooling.
