How to Make Peanut Butter Candy Corn Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 1 cup creamy peanut butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup packed brown sugar. Mix until well combined.
  4. Beat in 1 large egg until thoroughly incorporated.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 12 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately press about 5 candy corns into the top of each cookie.
  8. Return to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
