How to make White Chocolate Candy Corn Cookies

I'm ready to dive in and make these candy corn cookies recipe. Gather all the ingredients along with a few supplies you might need like a large bowl, baking sheet, cooling rack, hand electric mixer and a wooden spoon to mix in those candy pieces.

Begin by mixing softened butter with granulated sugar and cream for 5 minutes on a medium-high speed. Make sure to scrape sides of bowl using a silicone scraper.

This helps to fully combine ingredients. I prefer to use my Bosch Universal Mixer so I can be hands free in the kitchen. But a handheld mixer will also work great.

Then add egg followed by Vanilla Extract and brown sugar. Continue to cream butter ingredients together for another 3 minutes.

Creaming the butter and sugars together will create a light texture to the cookies. Notice all the air pockets in the butter mixture? The cookies will be wonderful.

In a separate medium bowl combine All Purpose Flour, Salt and Baking Soda together. Then carefully add dry ingredients a little at a time until it's all combined.

Using a wooden spoon or large mixing spoon hand mix in white chocolate chips and candy corn pieces.

My son is a candy corn lover and the first time he tried these buttery cookies he was in heaven and instantly went back for more of these halloween cookies.

I used 2 scoops of a medium cookie scoops for each cookie dough balls making sure the bottom of the dough balls did not have candy corns showing. Remember they will melt!

Bake cookies on an ungreased cookie sheets placing cookie dough 4 inches apart.

Bake in a preheated oven until the edges are set and centers are no longer glossy and then allow cookies to sit on cookie sheet for a minute before you place cookies on a cooling rack.

Do NOT leave cookies on cookie sheet too long or they will tend to stick. The melted sugars from the candy become very hard when cooled making it difficult to remove baked cookies.

Pro Tips

Baking Sheet. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat. This really helps when lifting the cookies after baked.

Measure Ingredients. For consistent baking, it's important to measure ingredients carefully. Use a kitchen scale when possible. Or make sure to stir and lift All Purpose Flour to add air before spooning and leveling. Cookies with too much or too little ingredients won't bake properly

	Volume	Ounces	Grams
All Purpose Flour	1 Cup	4½ Ounces	120 Grams
Bread Flour	1 Cup	4½ Ounces	120 Grams
Granulated Sugar	1 Cup	7 Ounces	200 Grams
Brown Sugar	1 Cup	7½ Ounces	213 Grams
Confectionary Sugar	1 Cup	4 Ounces	113 Grams

Cookie Scoop. Use a cookie scoop helps to keep cookie dough all the same size. Uniform cookie sizes means baking will be more consistent.

Candy Corn. More down below. Candy Corn Candies are pure sugar and they will melt. Make sure Candy Corns are pushed inside of cookie dough and not touching cookie sheet for best results.

Candy Corn Tips

I truly love the added texture that Candy Corns give to these White Chocolate Cookies. They will melt a little bit and harden giving a fun chewy texture with each bite. The melted sugar will often times melt into orange dough which is so fun too.

Candy Corns that touch the cookie sheet will melt and spread. Make sure that you press a thin layer of cookie dough around the outside to cover all candy pieces. You can then press white chocolate chips into the cookie dough for visual appeal and more white chocolate.

If you still have melting Candy Corns on the baking sheet. Take a butter knife to the hot out of the oven cookies and gently press the meted sugar mixture back into the cookie. White it's still very hot, it's easy to push back inside.

Be careful to not touch the hot candy as it will burn you until it cools.

The Best Cookies

My teenage son and his friends often critique my recipes and this is a recipe that has been asked for over and over. The dough is rich and buttery which compliments the Candy Corn candies nicely. White Chocolate helps offset and balance the flavors making this recipe a true keeper.

Halloween is a perfect time to celebrate with these chewy cookies. If you are hosting a Halloween Party or even a neighborhood "Boo", this is a treat to make that everyone will love. Candy Corn Cookie Recipe is wonderful this time of year.

I've made these jumbo cookies using a medium cookie scoop with 2 scoops. The larger size works best for hiding the candy pieces inside. Keep in mind that any candy corn pieces that touch the baking sheet will melt.

Storage and Freezing

Store cookies in an airtight container or ZipLoc bag. You can also cover a plate with plastic wrap to keep these fun treats cookies fresh at room temperature. Cookies will last up to 1 week but are best if enjoyed within 2-3 days.

Freezing baked cookies is a great way to save some for later. Cookies will freeze up to 3 months when properly stored. Place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking and store in an airtight container.

When using ZipLoc Bags make sure to remove as much air as possible from bag before freezing.

Holiday Cookies are so fun to make and everyone gets excited for a great treat. Candy Corns are typically a seasonal item that show up in stores late September with other halloween candy. And they sure are fun to enjoy.
