Candy Corn Cookies taste like a Pay Day candy bar in cookie form! Take a break from the pumpkin and enjoy this easy fall cookie recipe with the sweet and salty goodness of real peanuts and peanut butter M&Ms.
In mixer, combine butter and sugars. Beat for about 2 minutes, until creamy. Add in egg and vanilla. Beat in flour, baking soda and salt. Fold in the peanuts and M&M's. Drop by large tablespoons onto a cookie sheet.
Bake in a 375 degree oven for 9-11 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately press in the candy corn (point first so it goes in easily). Allow to cool and enjoy!
Notes
Swap out the cookie dough for a peanut butter cookie dough instead for a more peanut-y flavor!
Press the candy corn into the cookies point first. Not only will they go in easier this way, you'll also be able to fit more candy corns in to each cookie.
Not a fan of candy corn? Make these without the candy corn pieces for delicious peanut butter M&M cookies.
Make sure to use peanut butter M&Ms here NOT peanut M&Ms! If you can't find peanut butter M&Ms, Reese's Pieces will work decently as a substitute (you just won't get any chocolate flavor).
