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
I might eat the cookies, but I just can't do candy corn! It looks festive though 😉
They are so cute. I will have to try them. Prayers for Chip.
You come up with the neatest things! They both look good!
Have a great day. 🙂
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.
Be still my heart, candy corn rules! Love the cc around the candles, perfect! Have a great weekend Karen…
I'm digging the turkey cookies too! Hee hee. Check out their cute little feet!
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!

Candy corn! I try like heck to stay away from it. I do love it so!
Man i remember candy corns, everybody had these around this time in school. Im glad to see that they still make this. Richard
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?
How adorable are those! They are so unique! Thanks for sharing them with us!
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!

I will pray for Chip and hope he's better soon, poor little guy…he's adorable.
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.
How cute are those?? Very! I like candy corn too…but then I like most candy!
My husband adores candy corn and can't get enough. I've not been out and about as much as I would like lately. Love your new header Karen.

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 🙂
They are adorable! 🙂
Oooh, I love candy corn too! One of my favorite fall candies!
Those cookies look delish and very pretty!
How adorable are those cookies! I especially love the turkey cookies, and since I'm hosting I'll be making those! They are so darn cute!
I just pinned that candy corn cookie recipe on Pinterest yesterday…I have every intention of making them soon! Yummy!
Yes, the turkey cookies are soooooooo cute – not that your candy corn cookies weren't 😉
