MARBLED CANDY CORN COOKIES
When bowls of candy corn start appearing on coffee tables, we know fall has arrived. So why not let this playful candy inspire a seasonal sugar cookie? Their yellow and orange color, along with their white frosting-dipped tips, are unmistakable nods to our inspiration, but the marbling effect is a fun twist dreamed up by the Betty Crocker™ Kitchens. And while the marbling is indeed impressive-making these perfect for fall parties-the technique is easy; just follow our step-by-step instructions below.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, stir cookie mix, flour, melted butter and egg until soft dough forms. Divide dough in half. Place into 2 small bowls. Tint 1 bowl orange, 1 bowl yellow by stirring in each food color.
- On floured surface, drop tablespoons of each dough in random pattern to make large rectangle. Dough pieces should be just touching together. Push dough toward center on all sides to make 7x6-inch rectangle.
- Roll dough 1/4 inch thick to create marbled pattern. Using 6-inch round cookie cutter, cut out circles. (See template below.) Cut each circle into 8 wedges; place cutouts 2 inches apart on ungreased large cookie sheets. Press any leftover scraps together, and reroll on floured surface to make more cookies.
- Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 20 minutes.
- In small microwavable bowl, microwave frosting uncovered on High 10 to 15 seconds or until warmed. Dip tip of each cookie into warmed frosting, letting excess drip off. Place cookie right side up on cooling rack placed over cookie sheet or waxed paper. Rewarm frosting in microwave to maintain dipping consistency, if needed. Let stand about 2 hours or until set. Store covered in airtight container at room temperature with waxed paper between layers.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place butter and sugar in a medium bowl; beat with a wooden spoon until combined. Beat in egg yolk, vanilla, baking powder, and salt. Add flour, and mix until a dough forms.
- Scoop out level teaspoons of dough, and roll into balls (chill dough briefly if it becomes too soft to handle). Place balls on baking sheets, 2 inches apart.
- Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until edges are firm and cookies are dry to the touch (do not let cookies color), 10 to 12 minutes.
- Remove from oven; gently press a candy corn into center of each cookie (surface of cookies may crack slightly). Cool on sheets 1 minute; transfer to a rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. Semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips work well.
- Do not overmix the cookie dough. Overmixing will result in tough cookies.
- Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly cookies.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely before icing them. This will help the icing set properly.
Conclusion:
Marbled candy corn cookies are a fun and festive treat that is perfect for Halloween or any other fall occasion. They are easy to make and can be decorated in a variety of ways. With their chewy texture, sweet flavor, and colorful appearance, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
