CANDY CORN AND PEANUT COOKIES
After having a peanut and candy corn mix that tasted fantastic I decided to make a cookie version! Candy corns melt in the middle creating a nougat like center. It's a great salty/sweet combo!

Tips:
- Soften the butter: Make sure the butter is at room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help ensure that the cookies are light and fluffy.
- Don't overmix the dough: Once you add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mix just until the dough comes together. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop will help you ensure that all of the cookies are the same size and shape. This will help them bake evenly.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly golden brown around the edges and set in the center. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
Conclusion:
These candy corn and peanut cookies are a fun and easy treat to make for Halloween or any other occasion. They are soft and chewy with a sweet and salty flavor that is sure to please everyone. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of these delicious cookies in no time. So what are you waiting for? Get baking!
