Print Recipe

Festive candy corn cookies made with soft sugar cookie dough and topped with colorful candy corn for a fun Halloween treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 cup candy corn

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using).
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, mixing until just combined.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  7. Lightly press 2–3 pieces of candy corn into the top of each cookie dough ball.
  8. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Candy corn may melt slightly during baking, so avoid placing them too close to the edges of cookies.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • You can substitute chocolate chips for some candy corn for variety.
