Candy Corn Cookies are soft, chewy treats filled with festive candy corn pieces—perfect for Halloween and fall celebrations. With a buttery vanilla base and pops of color, they’re as fun to make as they are to eat.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup candy corn (some chopped, some whole for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a larger bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until just combined.
  6. Fold in chopped candy corn gently without overmixing.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them a couple of inches apart.
  8. Press a few whole candy corn pieces on top of each dough ball for decoration.
  9. Bake for 9–11 minutes until edges are golden and centers are set.
  10. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to maintain softness.
  • To reheat, microwave for 10 seconds to refresh texture.
  • Chill dough for 30 minutes to reduce spreading if desired.
  • Add white chocolate chips or chopped peanuts for variety.
  • Avoid placing candy corn near cookie edges to prevent melting.
