GIANT CANDY CORN COOKIES
Cute and easy cookies which look like huge pieces of candy corn. A great way to make decorated cookies for Fall, Halloween or Thanksgiving with minimal hassle. No re-rolling of dough and no icing! Would be great for the kids to help with. I am posting this recipe as it appeared in the October 1999 issue of Parents; however, any stiff sugar cookie dough suitable for rolling could be substituted for the box mix, egg, water and butter and then colored and shaped. I made these for my son's preschool class with Mean Chef's recipe #76294 dough, which required an extra teaspoon of cocoa for the brown dough. I rolled the dough into super long ropes and cut it all at once. I also made really large cookies, about 5 or 6 inches, and baked at 350 for 11 minutes. Remember when the cookies bake, the color of dough will lighten up a bit, so use plenty of food coloring.

Steps:
- Prepare cookie dough according to package directions for rolled cookies.
- Divide dough into thirds. Tint one third yellow and one third orange with food coloring. Tint remaining third brown by mixing in cocoa and 2 drops red food coloring.
- Chill dough until firm, about 1 hour.
- To make cookies, pull off about 1/4 of each color dough and roll into a 1/2-inch thick rope. On a sheet of waxed paper, lay ropes horizontally next to each other, with orange in the middle. Cover with another sheet of waxed paper.
- Roll ropes out until dough is 3-inches wide. Remove top sheet of waxed paper. Trim edges. Cut into triangles (like this:VVVVVV).
- Arrange cookies 1-inch apart on greased baking sheets (I use parchment paper instead of greasing).
- Bake at 375° for 6-7 minutes, or until edges just begin to turn golden.
- Cool 1 minute on sheets. Transfer to wire racks and cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.

Tips:
- Use fresh corn on the cob for the best flavor.
- If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen corn kernels. Just thaw them before using.
- Make sure to drain the corn kernels well before adding them to the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them.
