Recipe Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Prepare Baking Sheets: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
-
Prepare Dough: In a mixing bowl, knead together the all-purpose flour and light corn syrup until well blended and smooth.
-
Divide Dough: Divide the dough in half.
-
Shape Cookies: Roll out one half of the dough into an 8- or 9-inch circle. Cut the circle in half, then cut each half into quarters. You should have eight wedges.
-
Arrange Cookies: Place the wedges about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
-
Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
-
Cool: Once baked, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Prepare Sugar Coating: Heat the corn syrup in a small bowl in the microwave until it starts boiling. Be cautious to avoid boiling over.
-
Coat with Sugar: Pour the yellow sugar crystals into a shallow bowl. Working with one cookie at a time, brush all but 1 inch from the tip with the heated corn syrup. Dip about half an inch of the rounded edge into the yellow sugar, then sprinkle the remaining brushed area with orange sugar to coat. Repeat the process with the remaining cookies and sugars.
-
Let Set: Allow the cookies to set for about 30 minutes until the sugar coating is dry.
-
Melt White Chocolate: Heat the white chocolate chips in the microwave for about 1 minute or until melted.
-
Dip in Chocolate: Dip the pointed end of each cookie in the melted white chocolate, shaking off any excess.
-
Set Aside: Place the chocolate-dipped cookies on a sheet of wax paper and allow them to set until the chocolate hardens.
-
Serve: Once set, your delicious Candy Corn Cookies are ready to be enjoyed!
These delightful treats are sure to be a hit at any gathering or party, bringing a burst of color and flavor to your dessert table. Enjoy making and sharing these festive cookies with family and friends! 🎃🍬
