Last night my daughter and I wanted to make some Fall/Halloween themed type cookies, so we made these and they came out really tasty. I adapted my Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe a bit, and used the M&M’s instead of chocolate chips. I also didn’t use any nuts, as these candies are pretty big, about the size of M&M’s with nuts. It was a fun cooking project with my daughter.
M&M White Chocolate Candy Corn Cookies
Have you found them yet? The new and elusive M&M’s White Chocolate Candy Corn candies?
As far as I know they’re only available at Walmart, and are selling fast! When I seen them on the shelf there were only 4 bags left, and since me and my daughter like M&M’s and candy corn both, we thought it would be fun to make cookies with them for Halloween. So we took two bags, and another woman that was there seen us get them, and when we walked away, she grabbed the last two! I guess we were lucky to get them. We tried some when we got home, and while they’re pretty sweet, they kind of grow on you and you find yourself grabbing a few more every time you walk by the candy bowl. Their flavor is a cross between caramel and candy corn, with a crunchy candy shell. Different, but yummy.
Ingredients
- 8 tbsp cold butter, cut into small cubes
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg, cold
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup M & M's White Chocolate Candy Corn
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer, beat together the cold butter and sugar until barely combined, about 1 minute on lowest speed. Do not beat until creamed or fluffy! Add the egg and vanilla and continue to beat until combined.
- Mix together the dry ingredients and add them to the butter and sugar mixture. You should have a very stiff, lightly sticky dough. If needed, add another tablespoon of flour. Add the Candy pieces and mix by hand until combined.
- Place dough into your refrigerator for about 30 minutes to chill.
- Measure out the dough in equal portions depending on the size you want them. (I used a heaping tablespoon for each) Place the cookie dough on your baking sheet and place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 5 minutes to chill the dough again. This will help prevent the cookies from spreading.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes or until the outsides are lightly browned and the insides are mostly done. (Do Not Over Bake)
- Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for a couple of minutes, then move to a wire rack to finish cooling.
