Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Yellow and orange food coloring
- 1 cup white chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until combined.
- Divide the dough into thirds. Leave one portion plain, color the second portion yellow, and the third portion orange.
- Roll out each portion of dough into a log shape. Press the three logs together to form a triangle, matching the colors of candy corn.
- Slice the dough into 1/4-inch thick triangles and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely before drizzling with melted white chocolate to resemble candy corn stripes.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
- Use gel food coloring for more vibrant colors.
