Ingredient Notes

Tips For Success

• Bring the eggs to room temperature for about 30 minutes, and they will mix into the batter easier. 
• Candy corn can melt and burn, so make sure the candy pieces are tucked inside cookie dough before baking. 
• Press extra candy corn into the cookies immediately after removing them from the oven. 

Variations

• Swap the Cake Mix – I love chocolate cake mix for these cookies, but you can change it up and use yellow cake mix, white cake mix, or your favorite flavor. 
• Add Caramel Chips – Stir in some caramel chips for a buttery flavor. 
• Add Peanuts – There is something amazing about the combination of salted peanuts and candy corn. Toss a handful into your cookie dough for flavor and crunch. 

Budget-Friendly Tips 

• Buy Cake Mix On Sale – Grocery stores regularly run sales on cake mix or offer coupons. It’s pretty shelf-stable, so stock up when you can. 
• Stock Up On Candy – Candy corn will keep 6-8 months at room temperature. Buy some on sale at the end of the season and freeze it for next fall.
• Freeze The Dough – Can’t eat the whole batch of cookies? Freeze the dough and store it in a freezer bag and bake a few cookies at a time, so they don’t go to waste.

Make Ahead And Storage

• Prep Ahead – Make the cookie dough up to 2 days in advance and store it in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to use. Scoop out the dough as directed and bake. 
• Store – Uneaten cookies can be stored in a cookie tin or zip-top bag on the counter for several weeks. 
• Freeze – Follow these steps to freeze cookies and cookie dough:
  • To freeze the dough, scoop the cookie onto a baking sheet and place it in the freezer for 45 minutes to 1 hour. 
  • Remove the frozen balls of dough and place them into an airtight container or bag. 
  • Remove what you need and bake as directed. You may need to add a minute or two to the baking time.
  • Baked cookies can also be frozen and stored in an airtight container. 
  • Thaw on the counter and eat.
