Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cups Candy corn
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Using a wooden spoon or spatula, carefully fold in the candy corn pieces.
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand to create a disc shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake as the cookies will firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Peanut Butter Candy Corn Cookies!
