Candy Corn Peanut Butter Cookies
Soft, sweet peanut cookies are topped with candy corn candies, a treat we all know and love. Make them for a bake sale, for the kids or as a Halloween treat.
Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 Cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 Cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 72 candy corn
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter, sugar and egg.
- Roll the dough into 24 small balls, about an ounce each. Arrange them on a cookie sheet about 1½ to 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. The cookies will have spread out and will be browned around the edges. Immediately press 3 candy corns into the top of each cookie.
- Cool on the pan for 5 minutes before moving to a rack to finish cooling completely.
Notes
Don't let them burn! Once the cookies have spread out on the cookie sheet and they're golden at the edges, they're ready to take out of the oven. Keep an eye on them!
Add the candy corn pieces fast: You need to press the candy corn into the cookies as soon as you pull them out of the oven. This makes them stick. Don't worry if this flattens the cookies.
Experiment with different candies: Some people love candy corn and others can't stand it. Feel free to use different candies!
