Celebrate spooky season with these delightful candy corn cookies! With their vibrant tri-color layers resembling the classic Halloween treat, these cookies will surely be a hit at any fall gathering. They’re visually appealing and offer a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth texture perfect for satisfying a sweet tooth. Plus, these cookies are simple enough for even new bakers to master.<\/span><\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. Cream the butter and sugar <\/span>until light and fluffy, five to seven minutes.<\/span> Next, add in the vanilla extract<\/a> and mix<\/span> until well combined.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Editor’s Tip<\/span><\/em>: Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier creaming and a smoother mixture.<\/span><\/p>\n In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt<\/span>. Gradually beat this dry mixture into the creamed mixture until it’s fully incorporated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Editor’s Tip<\/span><\/em>: Sift the dry ingredients<\/a> to avoid lumps and ensure a smoother dough.<\/span><\/p>\n Divide the cookie dough in half. Tint one portion yellow. Divide the <\/span>remaining dough into two-thirds and one-third portions. Add orange coloring to the larger portion, and leave the smaller portion plain. Shape each portion of dough into two<\/span> 8-inch logs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Flatten the top and push the sides in at a slight angle. Place the orange dough on top of the yellow dough, and push the sides in at a slight angle. Top with the plain dough, forming a slightly rounded top. <\/span><\/p>\n Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and<\/span> refrigerate until firm, about four hours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Unwrap the dough and cut it into 1\/4-inch slices. Then place the slices 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake the cookies until they’re set, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the cookies from the baking pans to wire racks to cool.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Editor’s Tip<\/span><\/em>: For even baking, rotate your baking sheets<\/a> halfway through the baking time.<\/span><\/p>\n You can keep these candy corn sugar cookies in a resealable bag or <\/span>airtight container. If they’re kept at room temperature, the cookies <\/span>can be enjoyed for up to a week; if they’re refrigerated, up to two weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n We recommend freezing the dough, before baking. Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls onto waxed paper-lined baking sheets; freeze until firm. Transfer to airtight freezer containers and return to the freezer. When you’re ready to make the cookies, bake them as directed.<\/span><\/p>\n You can use natural food paste coloring to achieve vibrant colors without the artificial additives.<\/span><\/p>\n If your dough feels too sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or add more flour until it reaches the ideal consistency.<\/span><\/p>\n Yes, candy corn<\/a> can melt in the oven, so it’s best to add it after baking or use it as a decorative topping.<\/span><\/p>\n Candy corn was originally called “chicken feed” because it resembled corn kernels and was marketed as a treat for farm animals.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Get a head start on these buttery cookies by shaping and chilling the homemade dough ahead of time.
