How to Make Candy Corn Cookies Cookie Mix

  1. Line an 8x4-inch loaf pan with waxed paper, letting the paper extend over the sides.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 box (17.1 oz) cookie mix, 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter, and 1 large egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  3. On a lightly floured work surface, place ¾ cup of the dough.
  4. Knead in desired amount of orange food coloring until the color is uniform.
  5. Press the orange dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared loaf pan.
  6. Divide the remaining dough in half.
  7. Gently press one half of the remaining dough (yellow) into the pan on top of the orange dough.
  8. On a lightly floured work surface, knead white food coloring into the remaining dough until the color is uniform.
  9. Press the white dough over the yellow dough in the pan, pressing gently to the edges.
  10. Refrigerate for 1 ½ to 2 hours, or until the dough is firm.
  11. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the dough from the pan.
  12. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough crosswise into ¼-inch-thick slices.
  13. Cut each slice into 5 wedges.
  14. Place the wedges 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
  15. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes, or until the cookies are set and the edges are very lightly golden brown.
  16. Let cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute.
  17. Remove the cookies from the cookie sheet and let cool completely.
  18. Store in an airtight container.
