CANDY CORN SURPRISE COOKIES!

I used my mom’s recipe for her Cream Cheese Cookies & just added a candy corn in the center of the cookie for a little Halloween surprise!
They are soft & delicious cookies & it’s so fun taking a bite into the cookie & seeing the candy corn colours pop in the middle.

Candy Corn Surprise Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, soft
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg yolk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
candy corn candies
sprinkles (optional)

Directions:

1, Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray cookie sheets with non-stick cooking spray.
In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, cream cheese, & sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk, and vanilla. Stir in flour.

2. Scoop out batter by 1 1/2 – 2 tablespoon-sized scoops and roll into a ball with your hands. Press 1 candy corn in the middle of the ball, and press surrounding dough over the candy corn so its completely covering the candy. Make sure the dough is in a round ball, completely covering the candy corn or else the candy corn will leak, and melt onto the cookie and pan. Top cookies with sprinkles. (optional. i put sprinkles on some of the cookies).

3. Bake for 12 – 15 minutes, or until the bottoms are just lightly golden.
