Candy Corn Cookies
2 Sticks Butter, softened
1 c. Sugar
1 Egg
2 T. Lemon Juice
2 t. Lemon Zest
1/8 t. Salt
3 c. Flour
1/2 t. Baking Soda
Red Food Dye
Yellow Food Dye
1/2 c. Granulated Sugar (for dusting)

Combine butter and sugar in a large bowl; beat at medium speed until creamy. Add egg, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Continue beating until well mixed. Add flour and baking soda, beat until well mixed. Divide dough into thirds. Press one-third of the white dough evenly into the bottom of a loaf pan that you have lined with foil, wax, or parchment paper. Place another one-third of the dough into a bowl and add yellow and red food dye to make orange (refer to the chart on the back of your box). Once it is mixed evenly, press orange dough evenly over white dough. In another bowl, add the final amount of dough and dye yellow. Press that evenly over the orange dough. Cover and refrigerate until firm (2 hours or overnight is best). Once chilled, invert your loaf pan and unwrap your dough. Flip it back over and place it on a cutting board. Cut loaf crosswise into 1/4-inch slices using a sharp knife, trimming edges to make even, if necessary. Cut each slice into 6 wedges.


Place 1-inch apart onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake for 7-10 minutes in a pre-heated 375 degree oven. Place cookies straight into a bowl with sugar and coat. Place coated cookies on a baking rack to cool

And how cute are these?…I think you can make them with
a basic sugar cookie recipe, using melted chocolate as the glue
to hold the corn in place.

  1. I thought everyone loves candy corn! My husband has gone gluten free and I really miss baking! I know I could still do it but it is really not the same…plus almond flour is over $10.00 a pound!..might have to still do these though.

  2. When my ex and I married in '78 I got a glass pumpkin container. Every year from about Sept. to Nov., I keep candy corn and peanuts in it. Just took a snack mix with candy corn in it on my camping trip!

  3. I also love candy corn, but only Brach's. Those little cookies are just sweet in so many ways. My sweetie is a sugar addict and I'm trying very hard to cut out the treats for myself. Candy corn is hard to resist though, isn't it?

  4. These are adorable, Karen! What a great recipe and I like your variation. Love the candles in the candy corn, too…I have to try that, I still have a ton of salsa jars! lol!

  6. These sound great and look so cute! I love candy corn, too. I have a candy corn candle that smells heavenly… until it starts effecting me. I can only burn it for a few minutes.

  7. My daughter made the candy corn shaped cookies for a 4-H project exhibit one year in the foods area. If I remember right, she got grand champion with them 🙂
