Candy Corn Chocolate Chip Cookies

Hi Everyone, what do you with all that candy corn this time of year?

Somehow, every year, it's one of those candies that we have a lot of.

I wanted to come up with a way to use it up.

Guess what?

When it's cooked in the oven on these Candy Corn Chocolate Chip Cookies it becomes something that tastes like toffee.

Ingredients

• 2-¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
• ¾ cup dark brown sugar
• ¾ cup granulated white sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chip morsels
• 1 cup candy corn, or amount to taste

Kitchen Tools

• rimmed baking sheets
• silicone baking mat
• measuring spoons and cups
• 2 mixing bowls
• medium cookie scoop - this is the one I have, I love it and use it with almost every cookie recipe:
• baking spatula
• handheld electric mixer

Ingredients

• 2-¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
• ¾ cup dark brown sugar
• ¾ cup granulated white sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chip morsels
• 1 cup candy corn, or amount to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
3. Using a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and salt, set aside.
4. Using a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, both sugars, and vanilla extract.
5. Add one egg at a time, beating well after adding each.
6. Add in flour mixture ¼ cup at a time.
7. Add in chocolate morsels.
8. Using a cookie scoop or rounded tablespoon, drop dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets. (optionally, you can put the remaining dough in the refrigerator while cookies are baking.)
9. Put 3 candy corn on each dough ball, press each piece of candy corn into the dough ball so it is embedded, otherwise, the candy might melt off the side of the cookie.
10. Bake 9-11 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
11. Allow cooling on sheets for about 10 minutes so the cookies can firm up and then transfer to wire racks to finish cooling.
