Ingredients

• 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp Kosher salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter softened to room temperature
• 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
• 3/4 cup granulated white sugar
• 1 tsp 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, beat well after adding each.

6. Add in flour mixture 1/4 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 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 to cool on sheets for about 10 minutes so the cookies can firm up and then transfer to wire racks to finish cooling.
