1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons milk

  • Add flour and baking soda to the mixture and mix again, just until combined.
  • Reserve 1/2 cup candy and fold in remaining candy corn.
  • Roll dough into balls. I used a tablespoon to scoop it out so the cookies would be approximately the same size.

  • Bake in a 350° oven for 8-11 minutes, until cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
  • Remove cookies. Press a few of the reserved candy corns into the tops of each cookie while they are still hot.
