How to Make Candy Corn Sugar Cookies
To get started, you’ll need the following ingredients: Candy Corn, Sugar Cookie Mix, one stick of butter, and one egg. A fun fact about Candy Corn is that it’s made from corn syrup, which gives it a sweet and slightly vanilla or marshmallow flavor.The first step is to pour the sugar cookie mix into a bowl, then add the softened (room temperature) butter, followed by the egg. Once these ingredients are combined, you’ll need to mix until a dough forms. Make sure your oven is preheated to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.Next, form the cookies into small balls and place them on a non-stick cooking sheet, leaving enough space for about 10-12 cookies per standard 20-inch cookie sheet. Do not add the Candy Corn yet – we’ll get to that in a bit. Bake the cookies for 4-5 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit, or until you start to see the edges forming (indicating they’re almost done).In our first attempt, we added the Candy Corn too early and some of it melted. To avoid this issue, wait until the cookies are almost done before adding them. Remove the cookies from the oven briefly, then add 2-3 pieces of Candy Corn to each cookie without pushing them too hard into the dough. Finally, return the cookies to the oven for an additional minute or two.
