These chewy candy corn cookies feature a perfect balance of soft centers and crisp edges, delivering nostalgic candy corn flavor in an easy-to-make treat ideal for fall and Halloween.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (320g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (165g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (about 240g) candy corn

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar and light brown sugar until fluffy and light, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet, mixing on low speed or folding with a spatula until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Gently fold in the candy corn, dispersing evenly without smashing the pieces.
  7. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  8. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown but centers remain slightly soft.
  10. Let cookies rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  11. Enjoy at room temperature or warm briefly for a soft, chewy treat.

Notes

Chilling the dough is essential to prevent excessive spreading and to achieve perfect crisp edges. Use trusted brands like Land O’Lakes butter and Brach’s candy corn for best results. Avoid overmixing after adding flour to keep cookies tender. Baking one sheet at a time ensures even baking.
