Ingredients
½cupbutterroom temperature
½cupsugar
½cupbrown sugar
½cuppeanut butter
1teaspoonvanilla
2tablespoonsmilk
1egg
1 ¾cupflour
1teaspoonbaking soda
19 ounce package candy corn
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and both sugars.
Add vanilla and continue mixing.
Add vanilla, milk, and egg to the bowl and mix again.
Add flour and baking soda to the mixture and mix again, just until combined.
Reserve ½ 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.
Place dough balls onto a lightly greased cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart.
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.
Allow to sit on the cookie sheet for 5 more minutes before removing to the cooling rack.
