Candy Corn Swirl Cookies Recipe

Directions

1. Using a hand or kitchen mixer, cream the butter in a large bowl. 

2.  Add the granulated sugar and beat until combined.

3. Scrape the sides. Add the egg and vanilla extract; mix until combined.

4. Add the all-purpose flour 1 cup at a time, beating between each new addition.

5. Once you’ve added all the flour, the dough should be pliable but not sticky. If the dough is still sticky, add more flour (about 1/4 cup at a time) until the dough is no longer sticky.

6. Separate the dough into 3 equal parts and tint one yellow, one orange and leave the other plain. 

7. Flatten the dough into discs, wrap and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.

8. Once the dough is firm, roll each color out into a 1/2″ thick rectangle.

9. Stack the dough one on top of the other with yellow on the bottom, orange in the middle and the plain dough on top.

10. Starting on the long side of the rectangle, roll the dough into a log. Roll log into nonpareils / sprinkles. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 40 minutes.

11. Once the dough is firm, cut the cookies into ½” thick discs and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

12. Bake at 350F for 8-9 minutes.
